How do we handle dependencies for cordova-cli and plugman once you put them in /dist/ ?
These tools don't work if user doesn't get/install the dependencies I have being looking for more information on these with no luck on what should be the best way to handle it for cordova. So far I have found two projects "struts" [1] and "maven" [2], Each one has a document/html explaining for end users what is the dependency graph and information about each dependency (Version, License, and Location to Get it) I know we use npm to install and resolved dependencies but I think we could start by documenting for end users what are the dependencies that the cordova-cli and plugman need to be able to run. Maybe start with a simple table with the dependency graph, version, license type (i.e. GPLv2, MIT, Apache 2.0, etc..) and the npm uri and repo uri and hash. We could also looked into providing a a convenient "binary" cordova-cli-3.4.0.-1.0.1-npmbundle.tgz that includes all the dependencies bundled (i.e. npm pack) [3] 1: http://maven.apache.org/wagon/wagon-providers/wagon-ftp/dependencies.html 2: http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/struts2-core/dependencies.html 3: https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-pack.html On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 12:13 PM, Andrew Grieve <agri...@chromium.org>wrote: > Yes, that's my goal. > > > On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 11:09 AM, Marcel Kinard <cmarc...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > To ask the question a bit differently, why is released code not going to > > dist?
