Re: [rules-users] Guvnor - Operations with snapshots

Hi Jervis, When you build a SNAPSHOT with an existing name (Guvnor shows you all the SNAPSHOTS and lets you select an existing one), the SNAPSHOT is updated (maybe under the hood the SNAPSHOT gets removed and a new one is created). So, if you have an application pointing to the SNAPSHOT you can update the assets it uses without modifying anything in the application itself.

One reason is for backward compatibility. Another concern is that we still need to find out if there are any use cases that package version can not cover. In this case, your input is exactly what we are looking for. Please see my comment in-line below.

Not sure how you can do this? a SNAPSHOT is a read-only copy of package.
