Plugin upgrade utility should allow to upgrade any version/version ranges #75

Closed johann-petrak closed 5 years ago

johann-petrak commented 5 years ago

When one has many pipelines in a project/directory tree it would be useful if the tsv file could be edited to allow a plugin get upgraded to a specific version, no matter what version it currently has (or, less importantly if the version is from within a range). So a line like this or similar:

creole://uk.ac.gate.plugins;stringannotation;/ UPGRADE uk.ac.gate.plugins  stringannotation  4.1

(empty version number) would upgrade any version of the stringannotation plugin.

This is especially useful because I think it is not too easy to actually find out which versions of which plugins are actually used in all those pipeline files. As far as I know we do not have a script to grep those out easily.

Makes sense, although I think I'd go with a * or some other placeholder rather than just leaving the version blank

I went with Mark's * suggestion:

creole://uk.ac.gate.plugins;stringannotation;*/ UPGRADE uk.ac.gate.plugins  stringannotation  4.1
