Sean Griffin commented on MVERSIONS-102:
----------------------------------------
I've been waiting on this one for awhile but haven't seen any progress. I'm
willing to take it on but want to ensure I'm working off the latest
work-in-progress first. Can the OP let me know if the included patch is what I
should work off of, or is there a more up-to-date version somewhere?
This feature is absolutely essential to help ensure we're fixing critical
fixes. If the entire dependency tree is not considered when looking for
dependencies that have new versions then it is very difficult, without a lot of
manual work that this plugin is specifically here to alleviate, to know whether
I'm fixing a buggy component. Sure, upgrading to a new version can break my
direct dependency, but even more likely, not upgrading can keep me from
shipping a fix to an existing bug.
