Description

It should be possible to run different versions of a package depending on the application context. This would allow anyone to test new versions in dev context before staging it to production.

As already discussed, the directory structure should be:

/myhome/Packages/Local/Blog/Development/
/myhome/Packages/Local/Blog/Production/

etc.

It should still be possible to have only one version for all contexts:

/myhome/Packages/Local/Blog/

If there are context specific versions or not can be detected by checking for the existence of the Meta/Package.xml

I think the latest consensus was to allow multiple package versions inside each package directory and specify the activated version in the specific (per context) PackageStates.yml, e.g.:

mypath/Packages/Application/Blog/0.2.2/
mypath/Packages/Application/Blog/0.2.3/

and

mypath/Configuration/PackageStates.yml

Blog: 
  state: active
  version: 0.2.2

An explicit version number would allow for a seamless upgrade of packages, since the old package will run as is until the new package is fully installed and activated in PackageStates.yml.

This would clash with the way composer manages packages. And in the last years, noone really needed it, or it would have been implemented. ;)
