Editing Packages

You can either edit the project (*.prj) from which you originally created a package (*.crate) file or create a

new project based on an existing package (*.crate) file.

You cannot directly edit a package, you can only edit a project. When the project contains your changes,

you first generate a package (*.crate), and then you publish it to the your repositories; however, you must

be careful to properly version the new package to ensure that Package Manager can process it correctly

when installing or uninstalling the package.

Edit Published Packages

After publishing a package, you may need to modify one or more of the settings to improve performance

or to adapt the package to changing system needs. For example, the dependencies or arguments for

installation must change in order to accommodate new company requirements.

To edit, either open an existing project or create a new project from an existing .crate file, generate the

revised .crate file, and then publish the revised version of the package to the repositories.

Best Practices

When editing a project, you should use the following best practices:

When you generate a new package from a project, you should modify the version, located after the

UpstreamVersion in the version format. For example, if the previous version was 3.5.1-a where "-a" is

the local package version, change the version to 3.5.1-b, indicating this is a revision of the package

rather than the version of the application you are installing.

Never unpublish a package from a live repository. Unpublishing disables Package Manager ability to

run removal actions. Unpublish also disables Package Manager's awareness of version changes.

Prerequisites

saved locally, and the files are available to Package Studio user.
