Re: [orbit-dev] Bundle versions

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Pascal, making a dependency
down to the qualifier does not make much sense.  Typically this would
mean that you depend on a specific build of the bundle before its "final"
release.  I'm not sure this applies to the Orbit release structure,
but either way it should not be recommended to depend down to the qualifier
of a bundle.

Relying on a particular version down to the qualifier is just plain silly.
To me relying on the first 3 segments should be precise enough.

I recall at one point we decided that we would use a qualifier as part
of
our bundle version numbers in Orbit (although I can't seem to find that
information right now) so we could make changes to bundles and use Update
manager to manage the different versions.

But I was thinking about it today and I remembered that we used to have
products built on Eclipse which commonly specified an exact version match
in their requirements because it was important for them because they knew
that they were compatible with a specific version of a bundle.
(org.apache.xerces comes to mind as an example)

If people specify an exact version and we start using qualifiers as part
of
our version numbers in Orbit, this could be a problem.

Thoughts?
