We can clone URLs to install unregistered packages, but it doesn't seem possible to install unregistered dependencies in any way other than manually.

Bumping this to up-for-grabs as it keeps coming up (also discussed at JuliaCon).

We probably want to think about this in the context of JuliaLang/METADATA.jl#2777 though. I guess we could just require that the unregistered package's tests be passing as well, though the "unregistered" part seems to conflict with the idea of having everything in METADATA be super solid.

It seems fine for untagged packages to depend on other untagged packages, but wrong for tagged packages to depend on untagged ones.

Any updates on this? Perhaps a simple solution is to only register packages that REQUIRE already registered packages.

REQUIRE files are going away in Pkg3, so yes.
