Announcement: karma-bro* are becoming one!

[bendrucker]

Wanted to share some exciting news with everyone!

We've coordinated with @xdissent and @alexgorbatchev of karma-browserify and @cjohansen of karma-browserifast. I've also just reached out to @afbobak of karma-browserify-preprocessor which I believe should cover all the karma-bro* packages. Here's what will be happening:

• All existing versions of all projects will be deprecated on npm. No existing dependencies should break.
• Everyone but karma-bro will be replacing their README with a deprecation notice containing a link to karma-bro and disabling GitHub issues.
• karma-bro will be renamed to karma-browserify on GitHub.
• karma-browserify (formerly karma-bro) will be published to npm as karma-browserify@1.0.0

Wanted to thank everyone for being super cooperative here and working towards the best outcome for users. I'll continue to reference this issue from commits and PRs as well as notify everyone when the npm publishes happen and you can update your dependencies.

Checklist

• ensure we can publish to karma-browserify@npm
• rename karma-bro@GitHub -> karma-browserify@GitHub
• deprecate karma-bro@npm
• release this library as v1.0.0 to karma-browserify@npm

Yeah! That's the best for all, I think. Great coordination work.

[nchase]

this is great!

[esbullington]

Great to hear, thanks for making this happen.

[thiagopnts]

Awesome! 👍

[bendrucker]

Just a quick status update for the folks watching at home 📺

We're waiting on browserify/browserify#948 to be merged and released in node-browserify so that @smrq's fix for #33 can be merged here. Once that happens we're going to kick off all the deprecations and name changes.

\o/ thank you!

[wokim]

cool!

[jonykrause]

great, thanks!

[nikku]

Coming up next: A release of this library as karma-browserify@npm. Thanks for your patience guys!

[bendrucker]

Mostly done! 🎉

Just now:

• @nikku updated the repo name
• Updated the repo name in source in fd9dcb0
• Released 1.0 (c6df603)
• Deprecated karma-browserify (old) in xdissent/karma-browserify@685bcdf
• Published to npm

Go forth and update!

Everyone can go ahead and update their packages! Nothing will work, but we most likely will not do another <1 release.

Still todo:

• Re-enable Travis (Update Travis #48)
• Deprecation notice and final deprecation steps on karma-browserifast (https://github.com/cjohansen/karma-browserifast/pull/33)
• Deprecation notice and final deprecations steps on karma-browserify-preprocessor (Deprecate afbobak/karma-browserify-preprocessor#4)

Please share!

Would really appreciate tweets and offline shares with friends. Wouldn't be investing all this time if I didn't believe that browserify is the way forward and quality tooling is key to driving adoption.
