[jira] Created: (MNG-2431) Make it possible to specify that version
should be the LATEST STABLE available
Make it possible to specify that version should be the LATEST STABLE available
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2431
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2431
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies
Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Jimisola Laursen
Hi!
I've been looking for a way to specify that the latest STABLE version of a library (dependency) should be used automatically. However, I can't seem to find any information on this. Is this not possible? The "Dependency Version Ranges" doesn't solve the problem for me since it sets with the lowest version satisfying the range.
This guy had the same question about a year ago, but it doesn't look promising:

I asked the same question is this thread:

-----------------------------------
What do you mean by 'latest STABLE version of a library"? If you mean latest released version this is what version ranges is supposed to be for. It does bring the latest version into your build, the trouble with it is that it will also consider snapshots to be valid which is a documented bug, see MNG-3092.

------------------------------------------
Dependency ranges shold be sufficient for this.

--------------------------------
We've talked about this on the User list multiple times. Its just a bad idea. The "latest stable" version of something is not a reproducible element.

Brian Fox closed MNG-2431.
--------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: (was: Reviewed Pending Version Assignment)
We don't really recommend even using LATEST or RELEASE as they introduce enough instability to prevent true reproducibility. The lastest stable is impossible to define.

Michael McCallum commented on MNG-2431:
---------------------------------------
In order to have a stable system you MUST understand what the latest release means... if you introduce this into your build you have no control over what actually ends up in it. As an end user this is not a huge deal direct except when people start using release in libraries in the main repositories....
you end up using the latest released code of every project and the shit hits the fan
i vote a big -1 for this
