Does anyone use ben-manes/gradle-version-plugin?

Any way to stop it from telling me about dep updates like this? [1.2.0 -&gt; 1.3.0-alpha01]

I personally use (and make) <#CP5659EL9|gradle-refresh-versions> and keep version updates comments in git so I can ignore versions I don't want to upgrade to and can still see subsequent upgrades.

That said, <@U0B8UKF8R>, the author of refreshVersions once contributed to that plugin from Ben Manes, and added `rejectVersionsIf { … }` in it that allows to do what you want, you should find info in its doc if you want just that. :slightly_smiling_face:

I guess, my point is that I want to prevent [stable -&gt; alpha] suggestions... unless I'm already using alpha. then [alpha -&gt; alpha] is fine.

Haven't heard of gradle refresh versions... wonder what the benefit is over ben manes' plugin...

The question is answered on this page, and also in the podcast: <https://thebakery.dev/12/>

Maybe we found one question worth reviving the long empty FAQ that we had removed :smile: cc <@U0B8UKF8R>

<@U3ZLHBTLG> will listen to that today. Thank you. <@U3G2M6LFM> thanks for the example.

<@U3ZLHBTLG> just listened! Great podcast and sounds like a great tool you've helped build.

In the podcast at 16:45 you said there are two stages to setting it up. 1. Add the plugin 2. Migrate to version placeholder

Is it possible to just add the plugin for now if I don't want to migrate the way that my dependencies are declared? Migrating a multi module app just sounds soooo tedious and I'm wondering if the plugin can still help me if it's applied, or does it require migration? I know you talked at the end that it needs migration, but I guess I'm questioning the "two stages to set it up". Thanks!

We plan to improve the migration facilities so it's much less tedious. <@U0B8UKF8R> is pushing me hard to get there soonish :smile:

Thanks for the response. I will wait to migrate until the automation is done and provide feedback for that mechanism.
