renovate-config manager

[electriquo]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Renovate should be able to detect updates to Sharable Config Preset. For instance, look at a Renovate configuration that looks like

{
  "extends": ["gitlab>abc/foo//path/xyz#1.5.4"]
}

Renovate should detect that abc/foo has a new tag.
There is no builtin manager for renovate-config where it should be a fundamental manager.

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

renovate-config manager should use its builtin config library to:

• Parse renovate config ((^|/).?renovate(?:rc)?(?:\.json5?)?$)
• Extract the
  • manager (e.g., github)
  • repository (e.g., abc/foo)
  • version (e.g., 1.5.4)
• Use the extracted information (manager, repository, and version) from previous step to detect any changes

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

Maybe

Hi there,

You're requesting support for a new package manager. We need to know some basic information about this package manager first. Please copy/paste the new package manager questionnaire, and fill it out in full.

Once the questionnaire is filled out we will evaluate if adding support for this manager is something we want to do.

Good luck,

The Renovate team

@viceice Kindly share the regex manager block that you will use

@viceice I think Renovate should fundamentally support upgrades of its config presets. Do think differently?

Sure, PRs welcome
