Hi,
Here is the scenario:
Instance A is a dev instance in which publisher A maintains and adds features to the unmanaged solution.
So far, publisher A has exported managed solution which is being used by other organizations - the most recent managed solution deployed is 2.1.0.0
For every release, publisher keeps a copy of both managed and unmanaged solution.
Before the next version of managed solution v 2.2.0.0 could be released, the instance A faces some issue and becomes unavailable.
Is it possible that the last unmanaged solution copy v 2.1.0.0 is imported into another dev instance B so that subsequent releases can be exported.
If yes, will it be treated as a subsequent release of the same solution by the organizations that have the managed solution 2.1.0.0 in it (you can assume there may be a patch or entirely new major version which should upgrade the already installed version keeping the data in tact). What role does the publisher play in the dev instance B? Will it still be treated as the same solution even if the published on dev instance B is different. Do I need to create publisher with the same name on dev instance B.
Regards,
Yasir
