CB-6147 Enable CLI and Plugman with npm shrinkwrap
> Enable CLI and Plugman with npm shrinkwrap
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-6147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6147
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI, Plugman
> Affects Versions: Master
> Reporter: Carlos Santana
> Assignee: Carlos Santana
>
> I think the npm modules cordova and plugman should be enable and publish with
> shrinkwrap.
> It doesn't mean that cordova-cli/plugman locks down dependency tree for ever,
> they can be updated as needed at any time a new version if publish to npm.
> More info here:
> https://www.npmjs.org/doc/cli/npm-shrinkwrap.html
> http://blog.nodejs.org/2012/02/27/managing-node-js-dependencies-with-shrinkwrap
> This provides multiple benefits:
> - Everyone testing cordova rc test the same code not just the cordova module,
> but all its dependencies
> - All users that npm install cordova or plugman get the same code including
> all dependencies
> - Easier to recreate an user environment, if user reports that is having
> problems with cordova@3.4.0-0.1.0 then another cordova contributor or
> committer wil be sure 100% that is running the same code as the user.
> - Avoids "it works on my system and not yours" without shrinkwrap it depends
> when an user installs cordova or plugman, and if any dependencies inside the
> whole dependency tree changes a version
> - Could be use to better clarify ALL dependencies including the versions that
> cordova/plugman was tested, so if a downstream distribution or end user wants
> to know what is a full list of dependencies to get cordova-cli and plugman
> working they can take a look at shrinkwrap.json
> - If a downstream distribution wants to redistribute cordova-cli and plugman,
> then it has higher confident of what dependencies where use at time of
> testing and releasing a specific version of cordov-cli/plugman, and if it
> wants to distribute cordova-cli/plugman including its dependencies it's
> easier to distribute only the versions that where use at time of
> testing/release.
