I just stumbled upon this:
{
"systemDependencies": "libevent 2.0.x or libev, OpenSSL 0.9.x or 1.0.x",
}
in the vibe.d package.json:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/vibe.d/blob/master/package.json#L14
but i cannot seem to find a specification for it here:
http://code.dlang.org/package-format
what does it do ? or is it just documentation ?

It's currently handled neither by DUB itself, nor by the registry, but it was planned to display this on the registry and when linking errors occur as a first step to improve the situation for external dependencies. The next step would be to make it more useful to the software side, for example like this: #52/#248. But the details still need to be worked out.

Perhaps calling it "externalDependencies" to be used for anything not
available in the registry.
