[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4200) Change qualifiers on zips and jars to support Milestones and RCs instead of Alphas, Betas, CRs, GA

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4200?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12463099#action_12463099 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-4200:
--------------------------------------------

hmm - I can't download the patch ... could you reattach it ?

What is phase set to for releases ?

With respect to this change does eclipse got a writeup why it is better to have the date being the siginificant qualifier ?

My problem with this is that a nightly build:

3.1.0.v200911091234-M1-H5-N

would be considered "updatable" from this release build:

3.1.0.v200910091234-R1-H5-R

Where as in the "old" system we had the release qualifer earlier in the name meaning no nightly builds of 3.1.0 could ever overwrite a Release build (which imo is how it should be since any nightly build with a newer date but same "old" version is a bad thing)

> Jars and zips currently look like 3.1.0.Alpha1-yyyymmddHHMM-H###
> To support a more Eclipse-like naming convention involving milestones, we need to switch to:
> 3.1.0.vyyyymmddHHMM-PP-H###-T
> Where PP = phase, eg., M1, H### = Hudson build number, and T = type, eg., N, I, S, or R. (Only N and R are currently supported.)
> This will guarantee that regardless of where a build is produced (ie., in whatever phase) it can always be installed onto an older version because the qualifier will always increase w/ time, regardless of additional suffixes.
