What was wrong?

when including the following in brownie-config.yaml:

dependencies:
    - smartcontractkit/chainlink@1.4.0

it currently fails with:

How can it be fixed?

it looks like the retrieval of available tags/versions is paginated, i count exactly 100. this makes it so that older versions of packages eventually become unavailable, even though their tag is available on the repo.

issue is in https://github.com/eth-brownie/brownie/blob/4e71252540d9a021f1853f4fb3a03596aa07b86d/brownie/project/main.py#L935

@gosuto-inzasheru hay! It's not a good practice and there is no info about that in brownie docs, but you can also get version from specific commit. Also I agree that problem exists and is not fixed yet.

needs pagination; eg f"https://api.github.com/repos/{org}/{repo}/tags?per_page=100&page=2", headers=headers
