Jérôme Vieilledent	Thursday 07 February 2008 2:14:24 am Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to version content class packages... For example, I released the 1.0 version of my site with all content classes packaged. I created several content objects with my custom classes. What if I have to modify several of my custom classes by adding fields for example ? If I try to import my new package (new version 1.0.1 of my classes package), the system tells my it's impossible because the package is already installed. And if I try to uninstall the previous version, eZPublish warns me that all my objects created with my custom classes will be deleted ! Is there an issue for that ? Thanks

I have to delete the old one before I can export a new one or I have to rename it. IMHO that's not sensible. There is a version counter one can edit and that means the package should be replaced by the new one. If I have to delete it the comment "- Creation of package." is rather futile because one can only create new packages. Isn't it? I would expect an "Update"-Button to rebuild the exported package with exactly the same parameters except the version and an additional comment. And on the other side of the process: I totally agree with Jerôme; one should be able to import an updated package that respects the existing package (and updates it instead of having to delete and install manually) that respects existing content (i.e. it is not deleted but kept; or kept and updated) Is this issue going to be solved (the message by Jerôme is almost 2 years old...) or is it just balderdash? Thx in advance, JT

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to version content class packages...
For example, I released the 1.0 version of my site with all content classes packaged. I created several content objects with my custom classes.

What if I have to modify several of my custom classes by adding fields for example ? If I try to import my new package (new version 1.0.1 of my classes package), the system tells my it's impossible because the package is already installed. And if I try to uninstall the previous version, eZPublish warns me that all my objects created with my custom classes will be deleted !

Is there an issue for that ?
Thanks

Hi!

I have problems related to the package management too:

I can export a package easily but if I try to update the same package that doesn't work. I have to delete the old one before I can export a new one or I have to rename it. IMHO that's not sensible. There is a version counter one can edit and that means the package should be replaced by the new one.
If I have to delete it the comment "- Creation of package." is rather futile because one can only create new packages. Isn't it?

I would expect an "Update"-Button to rebuild the exported package with exactly the same parameters except the version and an additional comment.

And on the other side of the process:

I totally agree with Jerôme; one should be able to import an updated package

that respects the existing package (and updates it instead of having to delete and install manually)
that respects existing content (i.e. it is not deleted but kept; or kept and updated)

Is this issue going to be solved (the message by Jerôme is almost 2 years old...) or is it just balderdash?

Thx in advance,
