less .json

right now it requires package.json. would be nice if .json files aren't required as well as update the version for all .json files present.

+1 Agreed.

My longterm hope is that a package manager understands history.md or something and just grabs the version from that on publish.

If there is no version field in a json file then should it be ignored? (There might be json files that are unrelated to the package). I am skeptical about updating "all" json files tho I suppose if something ends up being mis-updated we can blacklist it. In practice I don't think this will be an issue. Maybe a whitelist is more appropriate.

[jonathanong]

I would just add the version to all json files unless it's marked private

Also, whitelist

[defunctzombie]

which files to whitelist then?

package.json component.json

any others?

[jonathanong]

I only know bower.json and composer.json
