Right now the versioning we have is the "content:" field, currently at ubuntu-app-platform1. This was recommended to me in October. The idea would be to increment that so that apps using ubuntu-app-platform1 continue to fetch an older platform snap from the store providing that version, while people can update their apps to the newer version at their pace. This is the theory, I'm not sure about the implementation status for things like 1) fetching older version with matching "content:" value in case the newest snap in store has incremented value, 2) co-installing different versions with different "content:" value. We may need to change snap itself or introduce a new method for the versioning if this is not the final way. -Timo -- Snapcraft mailing list Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
