---------------------------------
Can you explain why the build failed? I would think the source code in
[email protected] and [email protected] would be pretty similar, even though they would be
installed in different directories because they have different ids.
Also, what do you think plugman should do in this case?
It seems like there are two choices. Plugman can treat the old and new File as
different versions of the same plugin or as two different plugins. If you treat
these as two different plugins, then loading cordova-plugin-media should bring
in cordova-plugin-file, and the fact that you already have
org.apache.cordova.file is no barrier. I would expect that configuration would
also fail to build, but I could be wrong. In any case both File plugin
versions can't really coexist because they define the same global names.
What's happening here feels like plugman is attempting to treat the old and new
File as different versions of the same plugin. In that case, plugman is doing
the right thing. If you fetch a plugin that has a dependency on a plugin you
already have ([email protected]), then the plugin is not re-fetched, even if the
version you have does not satisfy the version attribute in the <dependency>
tag. This would happen even if the plugin hadn't been renamed.
