What version is in Delphi DCP ?

[skybuck2000]

Does it have any version ?
Does it match package version ? BPL ?
Does it match compiler version ? DCU ?

Could it even have mixed DCU versions/units...

But let's assume package just compiled with one compiler.

What it have the package version inside of it or the compiler version ?

It does matter cause package and compiler versions are different.

Bye for now,

It's kinda weird, cause the dcu probably have a different version, but the DCP below to BPLs which also again have a different version.

The DCP are needed to build the BPL files if they have other package dependencies.

Explained here:

To some degree... this should be explained more thoroughly and more official in official documentation, not third party documents.

Documentation should explain clearly:

What are DCP for ? Why are they needed ? Can they be thrown away ? And so forth.
