[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=12485164#action_12485164 ] 

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

"If the N build contains newer bits (was built later) then it should replace the R regardless of quality statement (phase/type). You don't want older bits to take priority over newer ones;"

I disagree. The timestamp is only *secondary*.

2.0.0.R<timestamp> should overrule any 2.0.0.N<timestamp> builds.

2.0.1.N<timestamp> should overrule any 2.0.0.(R|N)<timestamp> builds.

"that would prevent a user from upgrading from 2.0.0R -> 2.0.1N and then later to 2.0.1S before picking up the final 2.0.1R. We want a seamless chronological flow for early adopters, right?"

Why is 2.0.0.R -> 2.0.1.N prevented ? I don't understand - the .z version his updated.

> 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.
