Theres a feature in TM to automatically keep bundles updated
How does this work exactly? Is it just for the default bundles, and theres some web service on the TM website?
I'm wondering if I can hook into it somehow and have my third party git-based bundles updated also
Thanks

Yes, it is only for default bundles, I should move the checkbox to the Bundles preferences page.

Only if we add those bundles to the main index; if they are of general use, that should not be a problem.

The bundle I refer to is JSHint.. https://github.com/bodnaristvan/JSHint.tmbundle
But it requires jshint npm module to be installed (globally I think), so Im not sure it meets your bundle guidelines in a way that it could be added to the main index - I might be wrong though.

What would be really cool is if a bundle could specify two scripts which textmate would automatically invoke when its trying to update bundles
One script would check to see if a new version was available The second script would run any procedure to update the bundle (such as git clone, make, and install etc).
Admittedly I don't have a huge understanding of bundles in TM2, but on the face of it it seems like it would be a really nice addition It would also mean you could install third party bundles which are capable of auto-updating themselves, without needing to be added to the TM index.

There is no requirement that bundles can’t have third party dependencies, in fact, many do rely on externally installed things.

I don’t think that is a good approach, but you could make such a system yourself and have launchd run these scripts periodically.
