Hi all,

I’m writing a custom module “MyModule” in my local users/calum/.julia/dev.

In MyModule i have a few dependencies that I added manually to the project.toml:

```julia
[deps]
LinearAlgebra = "37e2e46d-f89d-539d-b4ee-838fcccc9c8e"
SPICE = "5bab7191-041a-5c2e-a744-024b9c3a5062"
Dates = "ade2ca70-3891-5945-98fb-dc099432e06a"
DataFrames = "a93c6f00-e57d-5684-b7b6-d8193f3e46c0"
ReferenceFrameRotations = "74f56ac7-18b3-5285-802d-d4bd4f104033"

```

When I run a code that uses functions defined in MyModule I get a warning just for the SPICE package.

```julia
┌ Warning: Package MyModule does not have SPICE in its dependencies:
│ - If you have MyModule checked out for development and have
│ added SPICE as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
│ environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
│ - Otherwise you may need to report an issue with MyModule
└ Loading SPICE into MyModule from project dependency, future warnings for MyModule are suppressed.

```

If I remember correctly, SPICE is not included in the Julia package manger yet (It was installed originally to my Julia environment by cloning the http link form the git repository), so I thought this warning might have something to do with this.

Any ideas how to add SPICE as a dependent package to MyPackage?

Thanks!

I think what you’re saying is that SPICE isn’t yet registered as a Julia package (meaning it doesn’t have an entry on the general registry such that `Pkg` knows what you mean if you just type `add SPICE`).

I’m not an expert in unregistered packages, and when I tried to do something like this I gave up and squashed everything into a single unregistered package that I `dev`’d and called via `using` in a script. But the following might help:
