Customise your package versions?

Help

Hi Dave,

Regarding Declan’s original post, for now the version cannot be changed to mach the one in SVN repository. But i will move this one to the Ideas category.

As for the two different versions when no change is made, when publishing a project itr is archived in a .nupkg file and a version number is generated: M.m.bbbb.rrrrr
M - major version
m - minor version
bbbb - build version: the number of days that elapsed since 01.01.2000
rrrrr - revision version: the number of seconds which elapsed since 5 AM, GMT until the moment of the release
So when archiving the project folder it doesn’t know that inside the .xaml file there have been changes made(at least not for now).

And usually, when click on Publish you already know that changes were made and you want to update with the new version of the package.

Do you want to be able to change a package version to match the SVN one, like Declan’s idea? And when no changes are made to not be able to publish? Could you give a use case for this? (it would be easier for us if we understand better the user’s needs)

Thanks!
