Steve Lawrence commented on DAFFODIL-2712:
------------------------------------------
Some updates in the past have required a considerable amount of work (I recall
ICU had some issues a long time ago and the updates weren't trivial). It would
be best to know about those issues and allow time for testing new updates
sooner rather than right before a release.
This also hasn't been a significant issue with Daffodil, IMO. The real issues
with excessive PRs is with daffodil-vscode, which had a lot of dependencies far
behind. I'm hoping that once we get those all up to date updates will be more
spread out.
I think it's important that we keep dependencies updated, and it's much easier
to do that with a bot checking for updates than some other manual process. If
it's not automated to some degree, I don't' think it's going to get done.
Maybe we just make it run less frequently like once every some number of weeks.

> Reporter: Steve Lawrence
> Priority: Major

> The Scala Steward Org instance was shutdown in June. The recommended way to
> create PR's for dependency updates is now using the Scala Steward github
> action. This was added for the daffodil-vscode repo here:
> https://github.com/apache/daffodil-vscode/pull/199/files
> We should do something similar for the daffodil repo.
