README
WordPress Plugin Directory Slurper
==================================
A command line PHP script that downloads and updates a copy of the latest stable
version of every plugin in the [WordPress.org plugin repository][repo].
Really handy for doing local searches across all WordPress plugins.
[repo]: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
Requirements
------------
* Unix system (tested on Mac OS X and Linux)
* PHP 5.2 or higher
* `wget` and `svn` command-line executables installed
A Windows/Unix compatible version of this project that has comparable
performance (if you can use cURL and PHP's pThreads) is available
[here](https://github.com/chriscct7/WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper).
Instructions
------------
1. `cd WordPress-Plugin-Directory-Slurper`
2. `./update`
The `plugins/` directory will contain all the plugins when the script is done.
Run `./update help` for more options.
### Scanning the repo
You can use
[`ack`](https://beyondgrep.com/)
or
[`ag`](https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher)
to scan the plugins repository. See also the
[plugins directory maintenance](https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/handbook/directory-maintenance/#scanning-the-repository)
documentation page.
This repository also includes a script to show a summary of a scan. For example:
```sh
$ ag --php --skip-vcs-ignores rest_get_date_with_gmt | tee scans/rest_get_date_with_gmt.txt
$ ./summarize-scan.php scans/rest_get_date_with_gmt.txt
```
```

FAQ
----
### Why download the zip files? Why not use SVN?
An SVN checkout of the entire repository is a BEAST of a thing. You don't want it,
trust me. Updates and cleanups can take **hours** or even **days** to complete.
### Why not just do an SVN export of each plugin's trunk?
There is no guarantee that the plugin's trunk is the latest stable version. The
repository supports doing development in trunk, and designating a branch or tag
as the stable version. Using the zip file gets around this, as it figures it all
out and gives you the latest stable version.
### How long will it take?
Your first update will take a while (at least a couple of hours, and
potentially overnight, depending on your connection and disk speeds).
But subsequent updates are smarter. The script tracks the SVN revision number
of your latest update and then asks the plugins SVN repository for a list of
plugins that have changed since. Only those changed plugins are updated after
the initial sync.
### How much disk space do I need?
As of December 2017, the plugin repository contains over 70,000 plugins. The
script will download around 20 GB of zip files which, when unpacked, will use
around 45 GB of disk space.
### Something went wrong, how do I do a partial update?
The last successful update revision number is stored in `plugins/.last-revision`.
You can just overwrite that and the next `update` will start after that revision.
### What is this thing actually doing to my computer?
Once downloads have started, you can use a command like this to monitor the
tasks being executed by this tool:
```sh
watch -n .5 "pstree -pa `pgrep -f '^xargs -n 1 -P .+ ./download'`"
```
