Hi,
what is the best way to share snippets or entire plugins, so that they can easily be installed and updated automatically by TextMate?
I still do not completely understand the Avian / Bundles mechanism and having to check manually for updates and “git pull” them is not very user friendly…
Fabian
Textmate automatically updates any bundle you select in the bundles pane of the Preferences window (about 100 bundles there).
If you’re using personal bundles that live on git, Textmate can’t know how to access those for updates, so it’s up to you.
Best, tim

It's not like there's no way to tell TextMate where to fetch the update from. It's just that Allan did not implement any logic for those autoupdates for non-official bundles. For example Safari can autoupdate extensions downloaded from github easily by reading the plist file that has all the data necessary for the autoupdate to work.

If this logic doesn’t get implemented… what is the best way to get a bundle into the default-bundles?

Present your bundle here and wait for a response from Allan or Infininight. You can also try #textmate IRC channel on freenode.net [http://freenode.net/] if you want to speed things up.
