[Feature Request] A way to detect outdated rocks #567

Open Dynge opened 6 days ago

Dynge commented 6 days ago

Hello. I am migrating to rocks.nvim, and I am attempting to use the Rocks for as many plugins as possible. However sometimes the rocks are very old. This is hard to detect as Ive got loads of plugins this process is very heavy. Furthermore in 6 months a new plugin may have been abandoned on luarocks for some reason.

It would be awesome if I could somehow get a list of when the last update to a given plugin was published. Such that i may use that to detect potentially abandoned plugins that i may need to switch to the Git version.

Thanks for the awesome plugin.

Hey :wave:

Thanks for the feedback. Something like that would have to be implemented in luarocks. Since we're focusing on moving away from luarocks and to our own package manager, rocks (see #539), we may be able to add such a feature to rocks.

Thanks for the quick reply. That sounds reasonable.
