Thanks for finding a place to put this. registry-mapper has been removed since I created this. I'll try to find some time to update it.

in master branch only - added a quick note with this info

I'll try to find some time to update it.

Considering that this is not yet the case in existing release I would not rush it. Of course the quick solution would be to use "eraser" tool.

Some minor feedback in case you decide to work on the graph again: it is not so clear to me from first glance what order I should publish things in to ensure they are all published with updated dependencies. Reading through the graph I think updates should be published in the following rough order (may not be exact):

• cordova-common, app-hello-world, cordova-js, and serve
• cordova-fetch
• cordova-create
• cordova-lib
• Cordova CLI & plugman

I think a top-down/bottom-up graph would be more clear. A couple examples from https://www.ndepend.com/docs/visual-studio-dependency-graph:

An online dependency graph editor with capabilities for generating a reverse topological order for the graph would be nice indeed. Unfortunately, I could not find such a tool yet.

Edit: there's http://www.webgraphviz.com but I'd actually like to have something a bit prettier

Merging (better than nothing, to say the least)

So I finally found an editor that almost did what I wanted and could be easily modified. Here it is.

Gives you an edit and an embed URL.

Y-Coordinates give a topological ordering. So when updating things bottom to top, you should be fine.
