[opencms-dev] Versioning Modules

[Jason Trump]

i think part of the rationale for using numbers, is that there is an ordering on numbers for dependencies.  for example "module A needs at LEAST version 1.0.2 of module B"; in other words, version 1.0.3 is OK but version 1.0.0 is not.  converting to arbitrary strings makes these sort of rules more difficult to implement.

Hi,

I'd like to version my modules in a more complex way than just using
numbers.

I tried to edit the manifest.xml but as soon as I use somthing like rc08 for
a release candidate the SAX parser complains: The version you provided is no
valid number. Right... but how come 1.0.0 is a "number" then?

I also tried to tell OpenCms to use 08 as the version. Now i've got version
8 of my module installed - which is logically the same as 08 :) - but
doesnt't fit our versioning scheme.

Would it be possible to use Strings instead of numbers for versioning?

Regards
Nick
