[jira] [Commented] (WOOKIE-255) Change file names to not include
version numbers in features
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-255?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13122863#comment-13122863 ]
Ross Gardler commented on WOOKIE-255:
-------------------------------------
Conversely if we don't manage the versions of libraries that are introduced then widget developers cannot control when their dependencies are updated. This will (occasionally) result in broken widgets due to introduced bugs.
I've recently been thinking that features need to be versioned in order to control this, but I've not thought it through. One for the mailing list before this issue is closed I think.

> If the name of a file such as a JS or CSS in a feature contains a version number, e..g jquery-1.6.4.js, this makes it much more difficult to update the feature to use a new version, as existing widgets will continue to point to the file name originally injected, which may no longer be installed on the server.
> To avoid this we should make sure resources used in features use generic filenames, or stick to major version names (e.g. "1.0","2.0") and not minor or beta version identifiers.
