Hi all,
does anyone have any tips for both creating versioned frameworks
(with Xcode) but especially linking with a specific version in your
application?
Does "don't" qualify as a tip?
Naturally you don't want to break a live site with an update
(should you have to restart the app) and so linking with the
correct major version would be critical...
I've never liked that versioning scheme with Java. It seems so so so
un-Java-like. :-) I prefer to use the classpath to control
versions. I long ago abandoned /Library/Frameworks and /Library/
WebObjects/Extensions for deployment. As soon as you have multiple
deployed apps with multiple framework / jar versions you have a
mess. I either do what Guido said and package all this in the .woa
bundle, or have directories for these specific to one or a few apps.
Thus I can update one without fear of altering others.
