How can I test the latest Polymer lib when it requires an older SDK?

Question

I wanted to give the latest Dart Polymer lib a spin, so I updated the pubspec file and ran a pub install. However, the install fails with the following message:

Pub install failed, [1] Resolving dependencies.........

Package polymer requires SDK version >=0.8.1+1 but the current SDK is 0.7.6+4.r28108

Is it somehow possible to use the latest Polymer version via pubspec, or do I need to build the SDK myself from the sources?

https://www.dartlang.org/tools/editor/ has links to the bleeding edge, continuous build DartEditor

As of today, you should be able to upgrade 0.8.1.2 if you go to Help > About Dart Editor.

It seems pretty common that the libraries update a day or two before the SDK, so normally when I run into this problem I put in the pubspec something like the following until I can update the SDK:

dependencies:
  polymer: "< 8.0.0"
