What's the proper way to add a local file dependence to dub?

I did it this sway:
the part of dub.json:
"dependencies": {

                 "diet-ng": "~>1.4",
                 "vibe-d:tls": "~>0.8.0",
                 "vibe-d:http": "~>0.8",
                 "mysql-d": "~>0.3",
                 "mylib":{
                         "versions": "~master",
                         "path": "/home/mt/d/mylib"
                 }
},

In spite of using a version directly after the used lib,
you give two parameters

   "versions" : "~master"

and

   "path": "/path_to_your_lib/"

Works well.
