-While contributing, you may also want to set the following dependency

-## Publishing plugin updates that span multiple plugin packages
-
-If your change affects both the interface package and the
-implementation packages, then you will need to publish a version of
-the plugin in between landing the interface changes and the
-implementation changes, since the implementations depend on the
-interface via pub.
-
-To do this, follow these steps:
-
-1. Create a PR that has all the changes, and update the
-`pubspec.yaml`s to have path-based dependency overrides as described
-in the "Updating pigeon-generated files" section above.
-
-2. Upload that PR and get it reviewed and into a state where the only
-test failure is the one complaining that you can't publish a package
-that has dependency overrides.
-
-3. Create a PR that's a subset of the one in the previous step that
-only includes the interface changes, with no dependency overrides, and
-submit that.
-
-4. Once you have had that reviewed and landed, publish the interface
-parts of the plugin to pub.
-
-5. Now, update the original full PR to not use dependency overrides
-but to instead refer to the new version of the plugin, and sync it to
-master (so that the interface changes are gone from the PR). Submit
-that PR.
-
-6. Once you have had _that_ PR reviewed and landed, publish the
-implementation parts of the plugin to pub.
-
-You may need to publish each implementation package independently of
-the main package also, depending on exactly what your change entails.
