Fine grained control of package dependencies
Andrea Vaccaro replied to Andrea Vaccaro's topic in VI Package Manager (VIPM)
Ciao Jim, thank you for the answer. Time to start get acquainted with Dragon then. looking forward it’s development andrea -
Dear all, I hope that the following question has not already been asked. Anyways, imagine I have package B which depends on package A. Imagine that packages B and A are both at version 1.0.0.x . Now assume that I bumped package A version to 2.0.0.x and I broke API compatibility so that Package B v1.0.0.x stops working with Package A v2.0.0.x. Is there a way in Package B build specification to specify a package dependency such that Package B requires Package A to be at version >=1.0.0.x and < 2.0.0.0 ? In this manner, one would prevent the user who installs Package B (which has never been upgraded to be compatible with Package A v2.0.0.x) from ending up in situations where Package B is broken. I hope I managed to be sufficiently clear. Thanks in advance for any clarification. Andrea
