Ask HN: What's the best way to stay up to date with software dependency updates?

4 pointsby eventemittervor 12 Jahren3 comments

I'm developing software that consumes third party APIs (AWS, mailchimp, shopify, google maps, etc.) and makes use of many open source applications & libraries. Every API provider and some of the applications / libraries provide blogs or twitter accounts where they post news regarding their software. It's difficult to stay up to date and never miss an important update.

Is there a better way to get the latest news about those updates?

For java/maven projects. Not really news, but keeps you informed about updates.

Use something like Bundler, Maven, Pip, npm, sbt. For example bundler has the `$> bundler outdated` command that shows dependencies that have new versions.
