Pub doesn't create packages/ symlink in tools/

[filiph]

The tools directory of a package should include a symlink to packages/ (it's an entrypoint directory).

Entrypoint directory

A directory inside your package that is allowed to contain Dart entrypoints. Pub will ensure all of these directories get a “packages” directory, which is needed for “package:” imports to work.

Pub has a whitelist of these directories: benchmark, bin, example, test, tool, and web. Any subdirectories of those (except bin) may also contain entrypoints.

My package lacks this symlink in tools/ and whatever I call (pub get, pub upgrade, ...), nothing changes that.

This is either a documentation issue (is there a way to force pub to check symlinks and create if necessary? is tools/ deprecated?) or a bug.

Pub version: 1.10.1
OS: Mac OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)

tool/ instead of tools/ should work.

Gah! Yes. Yes, it does. Sorry.
