I think
npm
also works like this. When a user adds a dependency without giving a version range, after this PR we use the solved version to narrow down the dependency to be added to what the user probably intends. E.g.:alr with foo
previously resulted infoo*
being added; now it will result in eitherfoo~0.x
orfoo^x.y
, etc being presented as the requested dependency.A
*
dependency can still be added by requesting it explicitly withalr with 'foo>=0'
(or manually editing, of course).This may merit a config option to disable this behavior.
