Incorrect 404 error when importing an explicit version of a package
Hi 👋
I get this error:
"Implicitly using latest version (v1.5.2) for https://deno.land/x/cheetah/mod.ts"
So, I change the import URL to this: https://deno.land/x/cheetah@1.5.2/mod.ts
And now I get a 404 error package not found!
Another thing about this package is that different repos are set to different versions! And the repo for the latest version is archived.
https://deno.land/x/cheetah@v1.5.2
https://deno.land/x/cheetah@v1.5.0

What! I just realized what is going on!
v
So,
this doesn't work (doesn't have v after @):
https://deno.land/x/cheetah@1.5.2
but this one have the v and it works:
https://deno.land/x/cheetah@v1.5.2
but this other package doesn't have the v and it works!
https://deno.land/std@0.221.0
WHAT!It's the module author who decides the version format they want to use. They can prefix it with
v or anything else. They can use rc for "release candidate", alpha, beta and all sorts of different patterns
This one for example is tagged v0.1.41-alpha-artifacts: https://deno.land/x/deno_dom@v0.1.41-alpha-artifactsThanks for the explanation 👍
