Windows 8.1 and other platform addition
Hi everyone,
As I said before, I'm working on the Windows 8.1 port of Cordova base on the Windows 8 one.
I sent an email with my first thoughts about the improvements we have to do and there are few.
In order to make platform addition easier in future, I created and resolved an issue on JIRA CB-5111 where I improve action-stack module in CLI to remove static platform check which makes cordova-cli more robust and more dynamic.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5111
In order to develop on CLI and plugman I have to :
* npm link both
* use a custom registry to have all plugin up to date with the windows81 platform configuration
I found some problems in the platform addition workflow :
* There is no doc to tell us how to develop on cordova-cli and plugman (on plugman repo, there is a paragraph about this, but I think we must provide one on cordova wiki or cordova-docs)
* There is no doc about how to create a custom registry (we have to find in cordova-registry repo how it work and this a big waste of time)
* Allow multiple registry in plugman would be a great improvement to help community plugins integration in plugman
* Mobile-spec tests are only working for unix based OS, so it can work only for platforms we can develop on unix. (what about Windows Phone and Windows 8 ?)
I'm doing a lot of hacks to test my new platform on my computer which make me lose my time.
Someone has ideas ?
Cordialement.

I think https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5006 would address your
use-case. Hopefully someone can get to it soon...

What about it doesn't work on windows? Definitely bug-worthy if it's not
working.
