Lint for used package not defined in pubspec

[kevmoo]

[pq]

Silly question: but wouldn't this result in a compilation error?

[kevmoo]

If you specify X which depends on Y you can depend on Y.

But if X later removes its dependency on Y, you'll be borked.

Are we supposed to list all transitive dependencies in our pubspec ?

[kevmoo]

@sethladd: absolutely not.

We should have an explicit dependency for libraries with explicitly use.

[sethladd]

ah, yes! gotcha :)

[kevmoo]

Is this doable? @pq @alexeieleusis @a14n ?

T'would make many folks very happy
