[jira] [Commented] (MENFORCER-241) DependencyConverge - allow ignoring minor and patch level mismatches

["Robert Scholte (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17386731#comment-17386731 ] 

Robert Scholte commented on MENFORCER-241:
------------------------------------------

This was actually duplicated by MENFORCER-360. Having the same request on different rules to get the same result is a sign for me that this should be solved in a separate rule, something like {{requireDependencyVersionPolicy}}

> sometimes it is acceptable to allow some degree of version mismatches. For instance, if an artifact follows [semantic versioning rules|http://semver.org/] it is acceptable to allow patch level mismatches (bug fixes) or even minor level mismatches (added backward compatible functionality).
> This new feature could somehow replace the current {{uniqueVersions}} flag which pretty much does the same thing to a lesser degree
