Storing source URLs outside of .dependencies file

[altxt]

Description

Hello,
Would it be possible to have repository urls stored separately, like nuget does with nuget.config?

The reasons to wish that are

1. Persistence. If an internal repo's url changed for reasons outside of a user's control, all past commits would fail to build
2. Speed. Distributed teams might want to have local mirrors of feeds, especially for high volume of change scenarios like CI

Known workarounds

For server builds, one could run a script to replace the source line in a .depencencies file with the current address of the feed. But for local developer builds that would be too much trouble with version control

Bump
Any thoughts on this?

did you look into paket.local? https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/local-file.html#Source-override

Yes, I looked into that
Local overrides can be used to solve some of the problems, but there are limits:

• affect only restore command, not install or update
• are specified per package, not per feed

I was thinking in the direction of source aliases that are configured in a separate file and referenced by name in paket.dependencies and paket.local
