There was a problem hiding this comment.
--server-url or --hosted-url might be better, the key for this in the pubspec is dependencies.<packageName>.hosted.url
Or maybe --hosted-source-url

Proposed solution for #2039, looking for feedback on whether or not this would be an acceptable addition.
The solution ended up being very straightforward since pub already knows how to handle dependencies from custom hosted pub servers and activating a package globally is essentially just performing a
pub getin a dummy package with a single dependency. All that was needed was a command-line flag to specify the custom pub URL that is then passed through to the.refFor()call used to build the dependency ref.I went with
--source-urlfor the CLI option mainly in an attempt to note its relation to--sourcewhile keeping it brief, but there may be a better name.Additionally, since this flag is only applicable when activating from a hosted source, it might be worth failing if it is used with a non-hosted source.
