Ability to pin revisions
#686 touched on this, but I frequently get updates from package authors that add breaking bugs. This package control doesn't seem to have the ability to specify versions like other package controls. Perhaps inspiration could be taken from pip (since this is Python), or neobundle, or homebrew
There has been work towards this goal. That is why new packages don't allow branch-based release schemes. Instead, authors must tag with semantic versions. Additionally, there were changes in the latest version of the package schema that allows including multiple releases per package.
The remaining aspects include version pinning user interface, and the user interface for installing from the different versions of a package. Then settings will need to be added to allow pinning of package versions.
i am currently dealing with a package that has broken in its most recent update, this would be an incredibly useful feature to have right now.
has there been any work toward this? for now, it looks as though i'll have to build a previous version and run it that way.. :|
if this isn't going to be a thing in the near future, then it's probably beneficial to drop the mention of versions of packages from inside the plugin, lest you create some false hope.. :upside_down_face:
