Title:
Disconnect between module versioning and module project versioning?
Status in Zorba - The XQuery Processor:
New
Bug description:
A module in Zorba can be versioned. It is possible for a single build
to contain multiple versions of the same module.
The unit of non-core modules, however, is a module project. This is a
single branch in bazaar, equating to a single directory in a build.
These module projects can be versioned, both in bazaar as well as
being tagged with release versions. It isn't possible to build Zorba
with more than one version of a module project (because the PROJECT()
declaration in CMake won't be unique). It is possible for a single
module project to contain multiple versions of the same module, not to
mention multiple different modules.
Right now the only mechanism for declaring dependency relationships
between non-core modules is at the module project level. This means
it's not possible to say "I depend on the email module version 2.2"
unless the email project author takes care to keep the module version
and module project version in sync.
Basically there seems to be no relationship between "module
versioning" and "module project versioning", which can only be
confusing. It's not totally clear that both concepts need to exist.
Perhaps this could be rethought and simplified for Zorba 3.0.
