package naming - sdacXYZ

why does devart not use the libsuffix option?
it makes conversion of custom packages to other delphi version somewhat complicated, the packages do have to contain things like
Code: Select all
requires
{$IF DEFINED(ver200)}
sdac120
{$ELSEIF DEFINED(ver220)}
sdac150
{$IFEND}
instead of simple
like with delphi standard packages rtl, vcl...
even project Jedi switched to this package naming convention...

The point is that we support Delphi 5 that doesn't support libsuffixes. Also we have projects for every IDE that are specific for each of them.

I am perhaps pretty stupid, but if you already have more projects for every ide, why your projects for Delphi >= 6 can't contain the libsuffix option?

We will investigate the possibility of adding this functionality in the future. As soon as we solve this question we will let you know.

Thanks, it would be nice, especially for future delphi upgrades

Hi, are there any news? the ifdefs makes me (and especially the delphi ide) pretty angry...

Hello,
We have investigated the possibility to remove IDE version numbers from our package names, however, such modification will lead to the fact that our packages users won't be able to build their old projects without making corresponding changes in our package names. Therefore we cannot rename the packages, since we haven't found a possibility to support both old and new names. If you know any workaround for the problem, please let us know.

hmm, the users have to make changes also now - with EACH delphi update (and that REALLY sucks). if changed, that thay (we) would have to do it only once...

solution - perhaps some expert could do such change automatically? or just some helper exe, that scans projects and do the appropriate change.

Hello,
Thank you for the suggestion, but the offered methods are too cumbersome for this purpose. You can write your suggestion on package renaming on our
UserVoice forum , and if other users support your idea, we will consider implementing it via package renaming using the libsuffixes directive.
