Issues related to CUE modules and the experimental implementation
To fix #3155, https://review.gerrithub.io/c/cue-lang/cue/+/1195195 takes an approach where package patterns with wildcards like
./...
are only supported if they use the current module as a prefix, i.e. they aren't meant to match any external modules such as existing or missing dependencies. This is the simplest kind of wildcard to support, as it's very similar to filesystem globbing like**/
, given that all possible matches are in the local current module.Supporting arbitrary patterns with wildcards to query packages or modules may be problematic for a number of reasons:
.../foo
match all "foo" packages across all CUE modules ever published?This issue is mainly to capture what kinds of use cases people might have for package (or module) patterns beyond the current or local module.
