Hello,
I wanted to report a bug (display issue?).
When I upload a package via my Linux console (2.5.4.15342),
the upload itself goes smoothly. However, when I try to use this package from a Windows console,
not all of the package's properties appear in the dependency add window.
In fact, only the "package" name is displayed, with no other information (Section / Name / Description / Signatory / Signed on / Publisher, etc.),
whereas everything displays correctly in the "Private Repository" tab.
It's not a major problem at the moment, but since I'm increasingly using the Linux console, it could become an issue someday.
I haven't explored the application to see if this might affect other tabs.
Best regards,
Baptiste.

Hi Baptiste,

actually it's not a bug, but a feature, or at least a feature fix...

In WAPT's operation, the agent chooses the correct version of the package it will use, not the package selection window. To illustrate this, in the machine package, only the package name is added, not the OS version or the package version: the agent takes the latest available version based on the installation constraints (OS, OS version, language, etc.).

So, to be closer to reality, we stopped filling in the grid, because it could be misleading, and the information wasn't always correct (only the package name is guaranteed to be correct).

So this is normal, and it will work correctly even if you're using a Linux console, and whether you have Linux or Windows agents.

In a multi-platform environment, when importing packages in the "Import Packages" window, be sure to check the "Compatible with known machines" box. This will automatically select available packages based on the OS type/version/language/architecture present in your repository.

I hope this explanation is clear enough.

Sincerely,

Denis
