Semantic versioning (semver) for meteorite #218

Closed mizzao closed 10 years ago

mizzao commented 10 years ago

Would it be possible to add semantic versioning to Meteorite, as defined in

http://semver.org/

This has several reasons. Most obviously, it makes people aware of responsible version numbers. But also, it allows us to specify approximate version numbers by using the semver parser that npm already uses. This means that we can have ~1.2.2 and so on (see the range styles in the README below.)

Since Meteorite is already a npm package it seems like it would be relatively easy to add semver.

There are plans for something like this in the core Meteor packaging implementation.

With that in mind, I don't think we'll see it in Meteorite.
