Using private repositories

[j3k0]

Some packages might be distributed in another repository than airsdk.dev, I'm thinking for example in companies maintaining private libraries. Having a self-hosted private repository might be handy.

So, what about adding the remote repository URL in the project's "dependencies"?

Something like:

        {
            "id": "starling-source",
            "version": "2.7.0",
            "source": "https://repository.airsdk.dev"
        }

https://repository.airsdk.dev can be used as a default when source isn't specified.

As an alternative, the apm-repository could have an "upstream" source. When a package is not found, proxy the same request to another apm-repository (probably always repository.airsdk.dev)

Ha, I'd actually added that exact property yesterday to start dealing with locally installed packages and yeah eventually multiple repositories.

Note, multiple repositories is not a main priority currently I don't want to over complicate the system too early, but I am building it with this in mind.
