Old / upgraded files seem not removed #67

Open holtkamp opened 10 years ago

holtkamp commented 10 years ago

When upgrading a "component", it seems the old files are not removed.

For example, when upgrading jquery-ui from 1.10.4 => 1.11.1 (which involved a new naming convention), files of both versions can be found in the components/jquery-ui folder.

Is this on purpose? The workaround is quite work intensive and error-prone:

remove specific componts folders
remove components entries from composer.json
run "composer update"
add components entries to composer.json
run "composer update"

Because composer will remove packages that should no longer be included (as opposed to uninstalling with composer) this utilize should also clean out directories that have expired.
