RSB and RQ NuGet dependency versioning

[Jakub Berezanski]

Currently, NuGet packages for RSB and RQ do not specify a version number in their dependencies on other Rhino.* packages.

 

E.g.

Rhino.ServiceBus.Castle 3.0.0 depends on:

- Castle.Core 3.1

- Castle.Windsor 3.1

- Rhino.ServiceBus <no version>

 

Rhino.ServiceBus.RhinoQueues 3.0.0 depends on:

- Rhino.ServiceBus.References <no version>
- Rhino.PersistentHashTable <no version>
- Rhino.ServiceBus <no version>
- Rhino.Queues <no version>

 

Rhino.Queues 2.0.0 depends on:

- Rhino.ServiceBus.References <no version>
- PowerThreading 20101026.0
- Common.Logging 2.1.1

This is equivalent to saying: "Rhino.ServiceBus.Castle 3.0.0 will work with any past or future Rhino.ServiceBus version."

 

While it's not a problem when using the latest RSB, it makes it very difficult to install an older version. Basically, when doing Install-Package Rhino.ServiceBus.Castle -version 2.3.4, NuGet installs Rhino.ServiceBus 3.0.0 (the latest available). This is, of course, completely wrong.

 

If the dependencies specified a version, e.g. Rhino.ServiceBus.Castle 2.3.4 => Rhino.ServiceBus 2.3.4, the problem would disappear -  when adding Rhino.ServiceBus.Castle 2.3.4 NuGet would install Rhino.ServiceBus 2.3.4.

 

Already published packages cannot be fixed, but the problem can be prevented in the future. Unless, perhaps, there are valid reasons for omitting version numbers in the dependencies?

This is in my ignorance as I am typically running on the latest version.
