[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-533?page=comments#action_12433806 ] Ross Gardler commented on FOR-533: ----------------------------------
There is a problem with this approach (from the user mailing list): >> when i type "forrest available-plugins" i can see the required version >> for a plugin. >> i'm running 0.7 version and there almost all plugins required 0.8 >> version. is taht really true? > > > This appears to be a problem with the generation of the plugins index. > It appears the 0.7 plugins index is showing the plugins for 0.8. We need > to make it so that the index only includes plugin version up to the > version number for the index being generated. That is, there should be > no 0.8 versions appearing on the 0.7 index page. > > It appears that we missed this when creating the versioned pages. I'm rushing again... The above described problem is not the one I am describing, although they are related. The index page on the website suffers the same problem, i.e. 0.8 plugins appearing on the 0.7 index. It looks like we need to keep a versioned copy of plugins.xml - attaching these comments the relevant JIRA issue. > Auto Generate plugins.xml entry > ------------------------------- > > Key: FOR-533 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-533 > Project: Forrest > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugins (general issues) > Reporter: Ross Gardler > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 0.8-dev > > > The information in the plugins.xml file would be better kept in the plugin > directory and added to the plugins.xml file when deployed.
