Hi
My situation: I'm working on and with many projects based on many libraries. I know how to handle these in Git, GitHub and Dub. But what would be the Best Practice in current dub?

Let's say, we have many apps (1 app = 1 package), which use several libs (Every app has his own set of used libs, some are overlapping with other apps), every lib requires new libs to work (some are overlapping),and so on.

Let's say we want to have 10 apps and need in sum 100 packages with every possible combinations.

One way would be, to pump the dub package manager with 100 new packages for building only 10 apps. I would like to avoid fill the dub database with small packages it. An deprecated way is to combine dub with github, which still works fine to me.

What would be good way to manage many small libs to build few big apps? Maybe the solution is around the corner, but better to ask the experts.

Thanks in advance

Greetings, Ozan

I would highly recommend keeping these small libs in a common repository (a monorepo if you will) but in a manner that only what is needed is required.

Lots of projects/repositories/dub.jsons == pain

I think you should stay away from Dub on big business. Instead, take advantage of all the benefits of Github.
