find the versions of dependencies via the command line

[dagda1]

I am going to use oak as a dependency but I have no idea what the latest version is.

With a package manager like npm, I can do npm info the_package versions

Is there anything similar in deno?

eg. This will work:

> deno info https://deno.land/x/oak
Download https://deno.land/x/oak
Warning Implicitly using latest version (v11.1.0) for https://deno.land/x/oak
Download https://deno.land/x/oak@v11.1.0
error: module could not be found

Note the error is about not finding a module with no name. If I add /mod.ts it will show me a lot more stuff (as info command shows the dependency graph) but also, it will not necessarily show me the latest but will instead show what I have in cache, or if none then it will implicitly use the latest version.

You can also add the --reload flag to the above command to force Deno to clear the old version from cache and fetch the new version.
