Package name typed twice for hosted Pub packages

In regards to this Pub Dependencies page and this code snippet:

dependencies:
  transmogrify:
    hosted:
      name: transmogrify
      url: http://some-package-server.com

Why does the value of name exist both under dependencies and as a mapping under hosted? Are they ever different?

Solution

  • It was consider to remove the requirement to add the name twice, but was dropped because it didn't seem to be used a lot and was considered a breaking change.
