Description of problem:
Your version of Claws Mail is newer than the version the 'Notification' plugin
was built with.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
claws-mail-3.0.2-1.fc8
claws-mail-plugins-notification-3.0.0-2.fc8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install claws-mail-3.0.2-1.fc8
2.install claws-mail-plugins-notification-3.0.0-2.fc8
3.start claws-mail and go to configurations-->Plugins-->Load plugin
4.select notification_plugin.so

  
Actual results:
error window will popup with"Your version of Claws Mail is newer than the
version the 'Notification' plugin was built with." message

Expected results:

Additional info:
If the plugin is older, there should be a flag on the plugin spec file for yum
not to install incompatible rpms.

Comment 1 Andreas Bierfert 2007-10-09 06:07:18 UTC
Please install the current version of the plugins which is:
claws-mail-plugins-3.0.1-1.fc8.

Should be in todays rawhide tree.

Thanks!.


The main reason I filed the bug is, so that for the future the plugins shouldn't
install if they are incompatible. You should add some requirement for
compatibility. 


Thanks again

Well there is a problem with adding a requirement: 
For the stable releases I usually build claws-mail afterwards claws-mail-plugins
and then push it as one upgrade so there should be no problems with
incompatibilities.

For devel this is a bit different as I can only build the plugins after building
claws-mail and as I sometimes push builds with a bit of a time delay it might
happen that the main program gets pushed before the plugins.

Adding a requirement that would prevent this is a bit problematic if not
infeasible and would cause numerous rebuilds just to satisfy requirements (w/o
actual code changes). As we are only talking about rawhide problems I will try
to keep these problems at a minimum.
