I'm using Packages for creating installers and am running into an issue. For a variety of reasons, I'd like the installers to allow downgrading of the included applications and plugins.
The problem I'm having centers around the fact that I have a hierarchy of directories of plugins for my application that are getting installed as part of the installer. Previously I've taken advantage of the "Folder" source to simply point at the top "Plug-ins" directory in my built products folder. This was convenient as whenever I added a new plug-in, the Packages would pick it up automatically and I wouldn't have to do anything to the pkgproj file.
However, I recently discovered installer packages generated this way do not support downgrading of the plugins. It appears that the only way to get the installer to allow downgrading is to include all the plugins individually in Packages and check each one's "Allow downgrade" rule. Which makes adding a new plugin more work and something that one easily forgets do and validate.
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the default for "Allow downgrade" to true? Or maybe set it just for a Folder, or even for the entire .pkgproj?
