Bug ID: 10438
Summary: Packages naming/versioning broken
Classification: Unclassified
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Packaging
Assignee: [email protected]

Our current packages naming and versioning doesn't support what we claim: if
someone wants to maintain an specific version then we'll let him. It is also
unnecesarilly complex for the users too.
The current schema provides only two stable versions support at a given time,
with 'oldstable' and 'stable' dists as a way of specifying that. Not only has
that versions limitation (which could be fixed adding something like
'olderoldstable') but is also difficult for the user who has to check whether
to change stable to oldstable to avoid unwanted version jump. This makes
maintenance difficult even for IT stuff (is not *that* difficult, but is
unnecesary).
I propose changing the packages naming schema to something like:
- Dists: stable (for the stable releases), devel (for the development branches)
- Packages naming/version: pick the one VirtualBox uses and have:
koha-common-3.8
koha-common-3.10
koha-common-3.12 and so on
as packages names. Versioned with their corresponding full version (with minor
release number) as it obvoiusly should.
I think changing ths should be a minor task, and would make install
instructions easier to write, maintain and follow, and would allow us to
support more than two stable releases at a time. In a simpler way.
