Keeping DocPad Plugins up to date

[balupton]

Hey @docpad/extras-team

I need your help in keeping plugin dependencies up to date.

First we will need to setup a development copy of DocPad:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/docpad/docpad.git
cd docpad
npm install
cake compile
npm link

Then we can setup the extras project:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/docpad/extras.git docpad-extras
cd docpad-extras
npm install
npm link docpad
./app clone

Then we can find out which plugin deps are out of date by running:

./app outdated

It will then produce output like:

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/browserifydocs
browserify has 9.0.3, but ^4.1.4 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/highlightjs
bal-util has 2.5.1, but ~2.4.1 is specified
highlight.js has 8.4.0, but ~8.3.0 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/downloader
tar has 1.0.3, but ~0.1.19 is specified
hyperquest has 1.0.1, but ~0.2.0 is specified
taskgroup has 4.2.1, but ~3.3.6 is specified
rimraf has 2.3.1, but ~2.2.5 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/cleancss
clean-css has 3.1.4, but ~2.0.2 is specified
taskgroup has 4.2.1, but ~3.3.6 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/livereload
primus has 2.4.12, but ~2.0.0 is specified
ws has 0.7.1, but ~0.4.31 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/multiplelayouts
taskgroup has 4.2.1, but ~3.4.0 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/less
less has 2.4.0, but ~1.6.0 is specified

info: /Users/balupton/Projects/docpad-extras/plugins/nativecomments
rimraf has 2.3.1, but ~2.2.2 is specified
chai has 2.1.1, but ~1.7.2 is specified
superagent has 0.21.0, but ~0.15.4 is specified

Which can be acted upon. Ideally we will have people familiar with the particular plugin they are updating - as that way they can further ensure that the updated dependency won't break anything.

Roger that.

I'll take any that need taskgroup updated.

We could also automate this process if we find or make the right tools :)

Good idea, but for now it needs to get done.

getting this:

(precise)mikeumus@localhost:~/Downloads/Bevry/DocPad/Dev/docpad$ cake compile
events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
