Re: Show HN: Dependency CI – Continuous testing for your dependencies
#2I've known Andrew for a few years and what I love about this is how it reflects him as person: someone who loves bringing people together. Dependency CI seems to me to be a manifestation of that. Hopefully one effect of Dependency CI, if (when) it becomes popular is that it raises the bar for the stability of projects that other people depend on. We're all in this together. Keep up the great and inspiring work Andrew!

#3I’ve been working on Dependency CI along with https://libraries.io, the service that powers it, in my spare time for the past few months, it’s great to finally get it out into the real world.
Dependency CI works like Travis CI but for the dependencies of your application, checking them for license and status issues every time you push to GitHub.
I've written a up a post on medium with more details: https://medium.com/@teabass/introducing-dependency-ci-e859fa...
It’s 100% free for open source projects and there’s a 14 day free trial for checking private github repositories too.

#4Would be cool if it could support Puppet modules.

#5This is a very interesting service, thank you!
May I ask you for some little thing that might change the (development) world? Would you please like to introduce a folder, where people might put their dependency.yml file - this is an effort to finally stop the spreading cancer of "put one more config file into the project root".
I would like to suggest to call that folder simply "config" - all the projects and tools out there should have no problem with that. Optionally there could be one top level config file called "config.rc" - this file points to the actual config dir if it is not "config".
It would be verrry nice if one service just starts with that and hopefully all the others will follow and it will become a defacto standard. The pollution of the top level project directories really must stop.
Thank you!

#6Great work on this, looks very useful. Does it only work with GitHub? Would love to have this for my private GitLab instance

#7Very proud of Andrew's tenacity and ability to offer a simple solution to a problem that strengthens the open source community rather than ruminating and/or grand standing about it.

#8Similar to Greenkeeper or requires.io, but with a larger range of languages supported. Very interesting.
As a side note, I recommend creating a separate github account when granting permission to this kind of 3rd party. Don't grant them full read/write on your repos, create an account that's temporarily admin, then make that account read only.

#9I added my project and the service claims it has 0 dependencies (Listed in the build.gradle file).
Bug?

#10Great idea! My company requires external libraries licenses to be revieved every half a year and it usually takes a couple of days to do so. Your project could be a real time-saver. Unfortunately the integration with Maven does not seem to work in most cases, if it did I would already have sent the link to our CTO.
