Use a 'metadata' version instead of the package version #44

Closed ThierryO closed 5 years ago

ThierryO commented 5 years ago

Currently the package version is stored in the metadata. Upgrading the package requires upgrading the metadata. Using a separate metadata version instead would ease this requirement.

krlmlr commented 5 years ago

With semantic versioning, maybe storing (and comparing) major-minor would be sufficient?

ThierryO commented 5 years ago

Yes, that is the current idea.
