Use the meteor package api directly to get more information

I can help with that! 👓

[andrew]

https://atmospherejs.com/a/packages is gone so this is higher priority now

Paging @olizilla 😘

ooh laa laa. Meteor now uses both a package.json for npm deps and a .meteor/versions file for atmosphere packages. The general direction is to pull much of core meteor functionality into npm packages.

The main problem here is getting the list of packages from at atmospherejs.com as they removed the way I was using before, instead pulling them directly from packages.meteor.com over DDP

[olizilla]

roger roger. I'm up for wiring that up but it'll be a few weeks before I get any free time.

🙆

Would be nice, given atmospherejs' api has been pulled...

[andrew]

Moving this to the Backlog as we'd still like to implement it but can't see that happening in the near future.
