VERSION TRACKING RELEASES

Is there any way to track software versions?

1. On any release see links to the previous and later versions of the release (if any)

2. A link to just go to the latest version

3. A checkbox? for a signed-in user to be able to 'follow' a release

4. The ability for a signed-in user to get notifications on a new version of a release.

Think about all the tools that we use getting regular updates that would be great to just 'know' is updated. 64 Debugger, Vice, SidWizard,

Maybe some smartarse can make 'apt-get update csdb' that just downloads new releases direct to your C64 over the wifi modem...

Much love
Zig.

Showing ur age with "apt-get" :)

I agree though, versions on releases would be very cool. Then we could clean up the "90% party release" type entries.

omg, didn't think of that but yes, would make sense of a lot of related releases! Not sure if my age is older or younger because of apt-get? Should I say windoze update? Or do the hip kids use NPM now? I dunno...

On arch and other distros based on arch (Manjaro) you have the user repositories (AURs) that could do that.

A versioned release even?

Any tracking will not lead to deletion of incomplete or pre-versioned releases as long as they comply to the rules. Also I think such linking/tagging/flagging could easily lead to people who think their github preview project needs regular updates HERE. Would be a wrong thought for sure.

I see a possible need for yearly or irregularly updated tools and such - it's up to you though wether you want the latest and hottest or stick to whats stable for you though.

I think we all know that nothing will change on csdb itself, if anything, such repo would be just a mirror of what we have here. I think having a HVSC style package with all the releases on csdb would be neat, even without the versioning.

This is true... It would be awesome to make a frontend on it etc - Mind you, it would be huge! If you think HSVC is big. Yikes.
