Ross Gardler commented on FOR-528: ---------------------------------- closer still... Still to do: - disable local deploy from root plugins directory (need properties from plugin build file) - write release process for plugins - enable deployment of unversioned plugins as well as versioned plugins - test > Add version control to plugins > ------------------------------ > > Key: FOR-528 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-528 > Project: Forrest > Type: Improvement > Versions: 0.7-dev > Reporter: Ross Gardler > Assignee: Ross Gardler > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.7-dev > > David Crossley wrote: > > Ross, are you able to explain what needs to happen with the plugins > > at release-time.

Yes we need two zipped versions, a > pluginname-0.7.zip and a pluginname-0.8-dev.zip > The system will then download the correct version for the currently installed > version of Forrest.
