Sure, that will work. As you know, this will generate larger update files, plus deleting files will no longer work. That is, if you remove files from version "2" that were in version "1", wyBuild won't know about them because you're creating "blank" versions. wyUpdate will just dumbly install the full files.
Full replacement instead of patching
Hi,
I'm trying to get rid of the necessity to have all ever released versions available for building the .wyu file. During an update that would lead to a full download of the latest version instead of patching an old version. With following steps for a new release is was able to achieve this:
- remove latest version (<RemoveVersion ver="[oldVersion]" />)- add latest version again but this time without any files (<AddVersion><Version>[oldVersion]</Version>...)- add new version with all files (<AddVersion><Version>[newVersion]</Version>...)- create wyUpdate- build updates
That means only the latest version has any files included. I was able to successfully update an [oldVersion] installation to the [newVersion] releas. Is this a supported scenario or do you see any problems here with that approach?
