Issue: #1549
Hey everyone, this pull request brings a few key improvements to how we handle package versions. Here’s what’s new:
Version Handling Improvements:
introduced a new Version Handler class to make version parsing much more reliable and standardized. It now covers:
This will help us ensure package versions are consistently and accurately ordered.
Batch Processing:
We’ve added batch processing for updating packages, with a default batch size of 1,000. This means we can process larger datasets without slowing things down.
The command goes through each package batch-by-batch and updates the version_order and is_pre_release fields to maintain consistency.
Error Handling:
Improved the error handling for invalid version strings. We’re now better at logging and identifying problematic versions, which should make debugging easier.
Pre-Release Flag Identification:
We’ve also improved how we identify pre-release versions, so it’s clearer which versions are stable and which are still in the pre-release phase.
How to Run:
python manage.py update_packages
so that it can create a version order for all the existing entries.
