Iterative update

[PVince81]

@schiesbn is suggesting that for people who use the updater app, the update should be iterative: 6.0.1 then 6.0.2 then 6.0.3, etc to make sure that all update scripts run in the correct order because some scripts might only run for example between 6.0.2 and 6.0.3.

This is mostly assuming that the updater app is used by less tech-savvy people.
Such iterative update path is not possible when using distro package managers.

I'm not convinced that it's a good idea and think that update code needs to support update paths like 6.0.1 to 6.0.4.

But let's discuss @karlitschek

@PVince81 technically I see no problem with that.

update Url provided by
http://apps.owncloud.com/updater.php?version=6x0x1x0x1399658401.0121x1405698474xstablexx2014-06-24T15:11:49+00:00
should point to 6.0.2

http://apps.owncloud.com/updater.php?version=6x0x2x0x1399658401.0121x1405698422xstablexx2014-06-24T15:11:49+00:00
should point to 6.0.3

etc...

UPD. I mean no changes in the current app code is required

there is no magic at all. Core fetches the feed from apps.owncloud.com and thakes a link to a new package from this feed

Proof: That's what we suggest for 4.5.0 users
http://apps.owncloud.com/updater.php?version=4x5x2x0x1399658401.0121x1405698422xstablexx2014-06-24T15:11:49+00:00

7.0.2.1 ownCloud 7.0.2 http://download.owncloud.org/community/owncloud-7.0.2.zip http://owncloud.org/

So, this can be closed?

@te-online Yes, i think this could be closed as this just needs to be fixed at updater url level as discussed in owncloud/appstore-issues#4

[VicDeo]

@PVince81 closing this issue as it is better to implement on the update server side

[ghost]

@VicDeo Its already implemented at the update server side: owncloud/appstore-issues#4 :-)

E.g. 8.1.7 gets 8.1.9:

https://updates.owncloud.com/server/?version=8x1x5x7x1382907615.86x1435439812xstablexx2015-02-07T02:34:55+00:00

before 8.1.9 gets 8.2.7:

https://updates.owncloud.com/server/?version=8x1x9x7x1382907615.86x1435439812xstablexx2015-02-07T02:34:55+00:00
