Mix as a general dependencies management solution

[Eyal Lapid]

Can mix be used to manage dependencies other then another elixir projects? 

My current use case is an elixir mix project revolving around an xsd which is subjected to infrequent changes. I wanted to ask if I could take out the xsd

and wrap it in another of its own mix package, this in turn could be specified and version managed in my elixir mix project dependencies.

Is this can be done today or feasible/logical for Mix ?

Theoretically yes. Mix doesn't know about Hex but Hex integrates itself into Mix using the SCM API. You could do the same for your dependencies but you will have to implement all of the integration code.
