Question about vrm / vrmlist elements

[Robert Anderson <robert.dan.anderson@oracle.com>]

Hi,

The vrm (version / release / modification) element has three attributes: version, release, and modification. The teams I've worked with always used only a single number in each; version 1.5.3 would be

<vrm version="1" release="5" modification="3"/>

and processing would render that appropriately.

Questions in the review came up like:

• What if I have a version number "1.5.4.2.3", but I'm limited to the three attributes?
• What would break if I have <vrm version="1.5.4.2.3"/>?

I have some thoughts on this but wanted to send the quick note to get it on our TC agenda for discussion.

Thanks,

Robert
