pub.dartlang.org should more thoroughly validate packages

Currently, pub.dartlang.org does very sparse validation on uploaded packages. It should also validate:

• That the package name follows the naming conventions (valid Dart identifier, doesn't conflict with any reserved words, all lower case).
• That the package description is non-empty.

If doing this, should pub make the same validation when using pub install/update?

Current pub validates that the name is exists but it does not appear to have constraints on what the name is. For instance can have capital letters, spaces, even reserved words (String).

I think we want to be somewhat more lenient on the install side to support Git repos that may not be entirely up-to-snuff.

Sounds good to me. Also gives private repositories a little leeway as well. So long as it is well documented that the naming convention is enforced.

Thanks

I couldn't find a place where the package naming conventions are documented. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21401244

I couldn't find a place where the package naming conventions are documented. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21401244 This isn't the place for questions like that. I've answered it on the StackOverflow post, but in the future queries like that belong on the mailing list.

Thanks for the references in your SO answer. This was not meant as a question rather a hint that it isn't documented. I tried to find something but Google search didn't come up with useful results besides this issue.
