I don’t know how IP checking was done in the past for Groovy, but I don’t
know of a way to automate comparing the format of Apache L&N against the
contents of the packages, so I’ve resigned myself to some level of human
involvement. I just hope those with the best techniques for finding
issues will share them.
It was pointed out to me that this is a pretty big list, so instead of
having the Cordova folks join this thread and re-hash the past
discussions, I’ll supply a link to a public archive of one thread. There
are a couple of other threads on non-public lists. And you can probably
drop in on the Cordova dev list and have them get involved on your dev
list.
