[CLOSED] Extension manager / updater #2215

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by royduin Saturday Dec 08, 2012 at 14:48 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/2316

Now all extensions have to be installed manually. I'd like to have some feature like "package control for sublime text" which manage and update plugins.

Vote up the feature here sounds like you are describing something beyond what is the trello card. What are you thinking - it would have access to a list of git repositories of extensions that it could use to install and update them?

It definitely would make sense to have a central repository for extensions, like npm. In fact, I think the existing extension manager that@jdiehl and@DennisKehrig worked on has this. It doesn't look like we recorded it on that placeholder Trello card, but I've been assuming we would have this, since extension discovery is just as important as the local management pieces.

There's only http://jdiehl.github.com/extensions.json, which I update manually. So far all extensions happened to be hosted on GitHub, only Emmet has a separate ZIP file for distribution, so for that the current system fails. We thought about switching to ZIP files (also provided by Git) unpacked via JavaScript, because then we might be able to get rid of the dependency on the Node.js server. But neither Jonathan nor I do currently have time to work on that.
