Serviio

Hey guys I am getting ready to start on the plugin part of the repository. I would like to have some way of getting the version of the plugin. Can we get a uniform way that everyone can use to document the revision of the plugin they create?

Is there a way to put a tag in the plugin, that can be check easily? Or if there is not, maybe we can put in a comment at the beginning that has the version number.

Java supports @version tag in the JavaDoc comments so that could be used. How do you want to use that in the API?

I was thinking about either having it in the plugin field. ie "livefeed.groovy 1.2" Or maybe a second field with just the "1.2" for version 1.2. Either way it we can set it up so that the API will download the newest version of the plugin.

yes, I'd say get the latest.

What should I set up in the field? x.y.z like you are doing with serviio or will x.y be enough?

Update. The more I think about it, the more I think I will let this be an open field and each developer will use what ever way he wants, as long as you can tell the progression of revisions.

I'd make it just an integer, ie 1, 2, 3, etc

true that would be easier for everyone.
