Package definition is introduced with FlexDeploy 5.0, where user can define package with list of files which can used during build request of with release definition. Package details can change during development life cycle as necessary. Users can continue to build ad-hoc packages i.e. without any name as before.
Packages are uniquely defined at partial deployment project, hence you can have package with same name in two different projects if necessary. Package list can be accessed from Packages button or green packages tab.
Package list will display all configured packages for project.
Following actions are available for package list screen.
