XMLPF Version Numbering
Answer
8/23/11 3:15 PM
Hi Jack:

for the moment, XMLPF is "tagged" by date (today the download file name is called XMLPortletFactory_20110823). In order easily to know when to download a new version, which version we're using, etc, I think it would be better to start using a numeric verioning system.

As this is still an Alpha (or Beta) version, I would name the current version as 0.1 (for example, you choose it, it's your project emoticon), the following would be 0.2, 0.3 ... and when you decide to launch a stable version, you can call it 1.0

Just my two cents! emoticon
Regards

Hello there Juan,

Great to see you here. emoticon

Yes you are right, I have been thinking about version numbering, and while taking a decision I tagged by date. The thing is, that because XMLPortletFactory only works under Liferay, I also would like to show, in which version works, so I thougt to tagged with Liferay's version number also.

But then again, actually XMLPortletfactory works in all 6.0.x versions. To make it short, doues this example bellow look good?


XMLPortletFactory-6.0.x-0.1_20110823.zip

6.0.x --> works on liferay 6.0.x versions.
0.1 --> program version
20110823 --> last update.

Maybe is too much numbers, probably date can be forgotten, because number will be increased in each fix...dont know. What do you think?

If anybody has any other suggestion, it will be appreciated.

Saludos, Jack.

Hi Jack!
I agree with you in the point that adding the date is too much.
Moreover, as the X provides no valuable information why don't just use NAME + Liferay Major Version + Project Version?
That way it should be something like this:
XMLPortletFactory-6.0-0.3.zip, XMLPortletFactory-6.1-4.3.zip, etc
It'll be much better, IMHO
Regards!

Thanks Juan,


Yes, that will be it. Seems the most reasonable way to go. I will implement this numbering from now on.


Saludos, Jack.
