Makefile extra

This is a drush extension that can help keeping makefiles updated, which normally is a manual and time consuming process. With this extension you simply ask drush to do all the work.

Installation

Simply clone the repository into your .drush folder as with any other drush extension (or use drush to install it).

Usage

The extension comes with three new commands makefile-check, makefile-update and makefile-combine, where the first only checks the makefile for updates and write version suggestions on the screen. Where the other writes the updates into an output file (which can be the same file).

The last command process a makefile and it's includes, creating a single combined makefile.

~$ drush makefile-check <MAKEFILE>

~$ drush makefile-update <IN MAKEFILE> <OUT MAKEFILE>

~$ drush makefile-combine <IN MAKEFILE> <OUT MAKEFILE>

Options

--no-cache

--exclude

This options takes a comma delimited list of projects that should not be updated in the make file.

Note: This extension will only work with the 5.x version of drush.
