Conflict when several plugin require the same dependency with different version #667

Open lwszaremba opened 7 years ago

lwszaremba commented 7 years ago

I see in register() function a plugin is simply ignored if slug already in the list. What happen if a plugin require a greater version than another one? The first call is kept, the second is ignored. So, it is better to be the first to talk (with a high priority), but it is in contradiction with walkthrough in issue https://github.com/TGMPA/TGM-Plugin-Activation/issues/666

Should it be better to keep the settings of the plugin with greatest version instead simply ignoring it?

This is a known issue and will - eventually - be addressed by TGMPA v3.0. See #394

I do have one base plugin which is requered for my other plugins - I am running into the same issue that the plugin is not shown if a different minimal version is used :(

Could you please provide and fix for that. Many thx - Martin
