    <p>Best method when a plugin is required or preferred *might be to copy out the old plugin to a dummy directory for reviewing later, then</p> <p>uninstall the plugin, (script/plugin uninstall plugin_name)</p> <p>install the old (but unmodified version) plugin (script/plugin install plugin_name_source_address) - likely either from rubyforge or github</p> <p>review against the saved version you put in the dummy directory using an editor capable of differential display (that is, which allows you to compare two files for variations. Notepad++ is one freebie that will do this, but there are a ton of editors that allow diff views)</p> <p><em>(this may or may not be something you can script. idk. I'm not that good, but I don't know of a tool that will do it all for you)</em></p> <p>do another uninstall on the plugin to clear it out, since it's job is done,</p> <p>install the new version of the plugin (script/plugin install plugin_name_source_address)</p> <p>and finally edit the new plugin <em>as necessary</em> to accommodate any customization that was performed by you or some third party to the original utility.</p> <p>I say as necessary because some of the customizations may not even be required in the newer version, although I can't say for sure...</p> <p>finally, once all your patches are re-added to the new plugin and it's been tested and verified, either delete the dummy directory or archive it for future reference.</p> <p>See, and I didn't even cop out with a bundler answer. You DID ask for assistance with a <strong>plugin</strong>, right? ;)</p>
