Hi - in the GUI at present we have a problem showing accurate "latest
available version" information for Packages:
When we click on a Package to get its details we'd like to be able to
show the not the "latest version" in the Publisher's repository bu the
actual "latest available version" of that package.
- For uninstalled packages this would be the version that would be
installed on the users system if they choose to install it and it was
actually possible to install it, not necessarily the latest version in
the Publisher's repo, which is what we currently display.
- For installed packages it would be the upgrade version if one was
available and if it was actually possible to upgrade to, again not
necessarily the latest version in the Publisher's repo
At present the only way to accurately do this is by doing a plan
evaluation which is expensive. Does anyone have any ideas how this might
be accomplished without having the clients run some type of plan
evaluation? It is certainly useful information to surface to the user.
My general suggestion has been to use plan_update_all, etc. but that is
obviously not a speedy solution.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Cheers,
