questions: isn't it annoying to touch so many files if upgrading a remote dependency?

[timaschew]

for instance: if you want to upgrade component/dom you need to touch 24 files:

@timaschew yeah, that's one of the problem's we've faced with component, as well as hitting the github API rate-limit way too often.

We've been exploring with browserfify as a solution for the frontend build recently and we're probably adopting it as a definite solution for this. We love the component approach to modularization, but the absence of a registry and depending entirely on the github API dosn't scale for mid-to-large project like ours :/

even if you use a token?

yes, totally agree. There are also some other drawbacks.

Currently I'm experimenting with jspm. It is really awesome, it's like component also a package manager and support github and npm.
Just now I setup a configuration in jspm to support component styled directory structures and require paths, so it's working without touching the code!
I will write a blog article and maybe a small tool to convert component apps into jspm.

Yeah, even with a token, 2 out of 3 (clean) builds would fail. For new instances, we would usually have to push 2-4 times to heroku to get a working deployment.

We'll definitely check jspm out. Is there any repo/gist you'd recommend us checking out?

Looking forward to it!

Thanks!

turns out webpack has a better and more configurable API.

see componentjs/component#639
