> Maybe in the plugin, we can set a minimum version of Answer to be supported. Something like this seems like a great idea to me! If the plugin "releases" can hold metadata about which versions of core `answer` they support, then the `answer build` process could potentially account for that, and install the latest version of each requested plugin that's compatible with whichever version of `answer` that's being built. Another possible change that occurred to be is about the default version of `answer` that gets built if `ANSWER_MODULE` isn't defined. Would it make more sense to have it default to the same version as the current binary, as opposed to the latest release? The advantage to that change would be simplifying the docker build process, as whichever container you start with is the one you'll build. The biggest disadvantage I see is that it would make upgrading an existing installation in-place a little more complicated. After poking around in the build code, I think I have a pretty good idea of how that second change might be implemented. If it would be desirable, I can test it out and open a PR. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
