[RESOLVED] Detection of a new version of an executable (upgrade_package)
Published: September 9, 2022 - 8:14 AM
Good morning,
I am running a WAPT Enterprise 2.2.2.12388 server under Ubuntu.
My question concerns the upgrade_package functionality available in WAPT packages. I understand that this function allows you to define how the package should be updated; however, I don't understand how version detection is performed in the console.
For example, I took the tis-powertoys package and modified it, so I currently have two versions. The original version (0.61.1-7) correctly shows that an update is available from the publisher (the PowerToys Git repository) by displaying the text in red, but my slightly modified version (0.61.1-8) does not report any update, even though it is the same executable.
Can you tell me how this version detection mechanism works and how I can configure it to react to the release of a new version of the executable?
I don't believe I've modified the upgrade_package code, but just in case, I'll put it here:
