[Yanel-dev] compatibility of resources

Hi
Since Yanel is using versioned interfaces, Yanel core can detect if a
resource is compatible with the core or not,
whereas I think we should add such a "compatibility check" within the
startup process during registration of resources,
because at the moment it does this only when actually trying to use the
interface.
Nevertheless it would be nice to show the "compatibility version"
as for example Joomla does
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/photo-gallery/6301
or Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=tid%3A122&solrsort=sort_title%20asc
or Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/3702
whereas Firefox extensions do this via a RDF
https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yulup/src/trunk/yulup/src/install.rdf
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>2.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>2.0.0.*</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
I think we should also try to handle this somehow
Either we could introduce properties within resource.xml where the
revision numbers are
documented or do this somehow dynamically, because as noted above Yanel
can actually
recognize this based on the versioned interfaces.
WDYT?
Thanks
Michi
