We were working on a redistribution of Cordova that included some plugins and ran into a use-case not covered by the current plugin spec.[1]
Currently there are two ways to specify a dependency 1. Using a combination of url, commit and subdir which plugman will use to clone down a repo and install 2. Set the url to ".", skip the commit and specify a subdir relative to the root of the repo. Plugman then runs git-rev parse to find the root and install from there. I would like to propose a third way which would be relative to the current install and not use git at all 3. Skip the url, skip the commit and specify a subdir relative to the current plugin.xml. This would allow us to distribute a version of cordova with plugins to anyone without an unnecessary requirement on git (considering the plugins are fully installed) 1. http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.0.0/plugin_ref_spec.md.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
