[dart-announce] Breaking change 48272: discontinue .packages file

['Michael Thomsen' via Dart Announcements]

We've planning on changing the dart pub get & flutter pub get commands to no longer produce the .packages file in the next stable release, and to fully remove support for that file in the following stable release.

The .packages file was replaced with the .dart_tool/package_config.json file in Dart 2.8.

See https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/48272 for more information and comment there if you have any concerns.

Update: The change to no longer generate the .packages file is now scheduled to happen in the Dart 2.18 release.

Kind regards, Michael
