[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-5064) Support for specific NB (feature release) versions

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5064?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17419191#comment-17419191 ] 

Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-5064:
----------------------------------------

This came to mind again during a discussion on dev@.  Release-specific catalogs would be good.  Maybe we can have different data for each release, but automatically import from the previous release, such that plugin authors / verifiers don't have extra work unless there are reports of incompatibilities?

> Maybe, currently, URLs for feature versions(e.g. 12.1) are redirected to the URL for the LTS(e.g. 12.0) version, right?
> That has a problem. We can't use an nbm of the LTS version if a feature version has incompatible changes.
> There are incompatible changes for PHP support in NetBeans 12.2. So, some plugins related to PHP don't work any longer in 12.2 with the nbm for 12.0. 
> So, I have to provide nbms for 12.2. However, we can't add them to PP at the moment. So, I have to upload them to another place(e.g. GitHub).
> It would be nice for users/developers if we can add nbms for specific versions. OTOH, it may be hard work for verifiers(/developers) to verify(/add) them...
> e.g. Although I'm not sure whether it is possible, if there is no nbm of specific versions, it would be nice to be able to use nbms of LTS versions.
