I started thinking in James' direction, but now I think we should approach this in a simpler way, without worrying about ranges. I think the device should just list all the frameworks it has installed. Why? Just like we do with LTSs and "intermediate" Ubuntu releases, I think we'll end up supporting a finite number of frameworks in each release, since "intermediate" frameworks will likely be supported for 9 months or less. So, listing all the supported frameworks won't make the query so huge. In any case, I think we should have this discussion soon (but not right now, let's push the release out the door!) cheers, -- alecu -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : ubuntu-appstore-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
