Could we make first-class support for packages that are "just files" and not repositories?

Hi @tkf, I hear you, and that’s exactly what I tried, but it doesn’t really work. See "Unsatisfiable requirements" when local packages use local packages (fixed in v1.4).

(It may work in v1.4; I haven’t verified yet.)

I attribute the fact that it doesn’t work to the fact that “local packages” like this are not first class citizens, and ]dev is meant as a short-term thing, not something you build your program on.
