I think that this can be interesting
UPDATE #1
Considering how Patch Manager
works the Web Catalog
need a third label related to a flag: TESTING
. With such flag ON
the related label will be shown and users will be informed that the developer / modder is going to change the package associated as many times as s/he needs to for the time as long as s/he need to. There is an option in Patch Manager
that set the developer mode, the TESTING
patches will show up only when that mode will be enabled.
UPDATE #2
A quick way¹ to add this TESTING
feature is to add a testing version like 0.0.0.0
into the version management. That version could be enforced only in Patch Manager
developer mode with strict version check disabled - not something that the end-user will do or s/he will do acknoledged that s/he takes some risks. The only other change to make is to extend forever the timeout for uploading a new archive on such testing version.
