Re: FW: [wtp-pmc] Fw: [wtp-dev] WTP feature/plugin versioning
|
The platform does not rev version numbers
for milestones; we only make new version numbers for the release. This
is not a perfect solution, but it has sufficed so far. We have discussed
alternate solutions, but have not come up with a happy better place yet.
We continue to try, and will make another run at this early in 3.2
[no promises on results]
There are several issues to have a good
story on here:
1. ensuring that version numbers only
increase when changes occur. incrementing version numbers when there
is no change causes confusion, just as not incrementing when there is.
2. what version numbers do you have
for releases? (do the milestone versions get used or do you need to increment?
[need to ensure that release number is same or greater]
3. how to treat dev builds. how
do you version number integration builds plugins? nightly? manual? is
there any ordering here? [automatic version number incrementing would need
to be carefully done. ]
4. the numbering scheme needs to make
sense in the context of ongoing development and a maintenance stream. (if
the version number is 1.0.2.1 at release time, then what is the number
for the first fix? what is the number for the next version under active
development?)

WTP feature/plugin versioning |

John, does the platform rev
version numbers for individual milestones? WTP has been requested to do
that for our clients, but we also have to think about matching the prevailing
convention.

Sounds like something we should be doing. I can have Jeffrey handle this
unless someone else wants to.

It is also not just an update site issue, it is also a major
pain to identify library conflicts if users upgrade/install
via a normal download.
And its also a major issue to sync up projects that uses WTP plugins -
no way to see what version they are using by manual inspection, trial and
error...
If the minor version number were incremented (which in my view make sense
since something really has changed and been released) then these
integration
issues will be alot less painfull - and WTP would get adapted quicker.
