[wpkg-users] Suggestion: upgrades from specific revisions

Hi,

I think it would be a good thing, if you could define different upgrade
commands for upgrades from specific revisions.

For example: if you actually want to upgrade Adobe Acrobat 9, you first need
to uninstall it, install it again and then apply 4 patches, which takes quite
a lot of time. On machines, where the actual revision is installed, applying
only one new patch would be sufficient.

I have something in mind like this:

<upgrade fromrevisionlessthan="5" cmd="..."/>
<upgrade fromrevision="5" cmd="..."/>
<upgrade fromrevisiongreaterorequalthan="6" fromrevisionlessorequalthan="8"
cmd="..."/>
<upgrade fromrevisiongreaterthan="8" cmd="..."/>

What do you think about this?


regards
Ralf
