Versioning strategies #16442

Open shiva7214 opened 3 weeks ago

What is your question?

What is the best versioning method can be adopted if we have dependent libraries for multiple projects

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Hi @shiva7214

Versioning is a large and complex topic, there is no "best" versioning strategy for all cases, and every organization, team and project might use different versioning strategies.

If you want to read more about it, you can find: https://docs.conan.io/2/tutorial/versioning.html

In C and C++ the topic is even more complicated than in other programming languages, because of the ABI and binary compatibility. This section https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/binary_model.html will cover this aspect in Conan

You can see for example the default minor_mode effect of python_requires on the package binaries in https://docs.conan.io/2/reference/extensions/python_requires.html#effect-in-package-id, the effect of regular requires will also be very similar.
