Announcing Tools for Apache Cordova (TACO) v1.0.0!
Hey all,
Today we releases the v1.0.0 of Tools for Apache Cordova (TACO). It’s available on npm and github. TACO CLI is completely build on top of the Cordova CLI, so a BIG thank you to all of you! Here is how you can install it -
npm install –g taco-cli
Tools for Apache Cordova (TACO, for short) provides number of utilities for Mac and Windows users to develop with a set of platforms and plugins validated by our Visual Studio product team. Developers can also install the native Android and iOS (Mac-only) SDKs and build tools. This feature builds on top of the check-reqs command provided by the Cordova CLI. TACO also allows you to connect to the Mac remote build server straight from the command line on their Windows and Linux machines.
DOCS, SOURCE CODE AND NPM:
http://taco.tools
https://github.com/Microsoft/TACO
https://www.npmjs.com/package/taco-cli
If you run into any issues or have suggestions for new ones, please open an issue or better yet, send us a pull request. We would appreciate any feedback.

Congrats on making this achievement, as being part of a large enterprise is
not so easy to open source company projects.
Have being looking into TACO today and discuss in Slack to get more insight
into the ideas behind it.
I think there is a lot of value on the kits and the validation on a set of
platform and plugins they test and "certify" as stable.
I'm looking forward to discuss more with the team at the F2F about TACO
with Cordova and Downstream like Worklight/MFP, having a set of platforms
and plugins that I can point customers to use and is backed by testing as a
set is very good.

Congrats TACO Team!
Having many downstreams distributions of cordova is a positive! It shows a
healthy ecosystem.
Feel free to bring up new features to add into cordova on the list.
Proposals are also welcomed at https://github.com/cordova/cordova-discuss

Actually, I do not think all the features of TACO is a good fit to
include in Cordova CLI
I was actually more interested to learn if the ways of the Apache
Cordova project was a
factor on the decision. IMHO complimentary projects with a similar OS
license that are not
built around a product may sometimes indicate a problem with the
community. It sounds like
it is not and I would REALLY be surprised if it was.

Posted by Frederico Galvão <fr...@pontoget.com.br>.
Although I see many benefits in the long run with such a tool (and thanks
for making it!) I agree with Gorkem's questioning.
Cordova already has too many names involved around itself (phonegap,
cordova, cli, platforms, plugman, ionic, to name a few), too much confusion
already lives in what does what. If TACO could live inside CLI, I think it
should.

RE: Announcing Tools for Apache Cordova (TACO) v1.0.0!
Posted by Subhag Oak <Su...@microsoft.com>.
Hey Gorkem, thank you for your wishes!
Honestly, as we were developing these tools, there was a continuous discussion whether we should put this in the Cordova-CLI or have a separate set of tools that complement Cordova. The decision was made to have a separate package based on following –
• We feel that Cordova-CLI is build-system, a run-time which enables developers to write hybrid mobile applications using their web skills. Rather than polluting it with extra tools, its best to keep it clean and provide additional capabilities outside it. If there is a feature that is core to the build system, we would definitely propose it for Cordova. For example, we proposed a top-level ‘check-reqs’ command since the platforms were already implicitly doing this. In TACO we have built a feature on top of the ‘check-req’ and extended it to install build-dependencies for individual platforms.
• Another intention was to keep Cordova small and not encumber the base Cordova-CLI with the ecosystem of tools around it. Statistically, every company has few resources (/committers) allocated to the Cordova open-source project and managing these kind of tools (not core to the runtime) might get into ways of making fast & effective changes to Cordova itself.
Does that make sense? I am open to suggestions and feedback.

Congratulations on the release. Looks very useful.
Since this is already open source and seems complimentary to CLI, What was your reason(s) for not doing this work as part of CLI.

I did a quick read through the docs. Is it fair to say the major benefits of TACO are:
1) You can install a mobile SDK (like Android) much easier.
2) You can build from a Windows machine to an OSX machine on premis using remotebuild.
3) Kits provide a way to associate platform/plugin versions into a 'safe to use' type bucket.
