We're thinking about writing this ourselves, but don't want to duplicate effort. I didn't see anything in the codebase that looked similar to our needs, but wanted to double-check.\r\n\r\n@pq @sethladd"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/seaneagan/den/issues/comments/93835777","html_url":"https://github.com/seaneagan/den/issues/22#issuecomment-93835777","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/seaneagan/den/issues/22","id":93835777,"user":{"login":"seaneagan","id":444270,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/444270?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan","html_url":"https://github.com/seaneagan","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/seaneagan/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-16T20:45:10Z","updated_at":"2015-04-16T20:45:10Z","body":"Yeah, I think `den`'s functionality is restricted to pubspecs, and is more end-user facing (also through [den_api](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/den_api)), whereas `pub_cache` is not something end-users want to have to worry about as much.  So I think it's good to have separate.  pub_cache looks really useful for tooling stuff, thanks!"}}
