I just tried to install the Media module, after installing File entity 7.x-2.x-dev, but I am not allowed to activate the module, because of incompatibility.

It seems like both Media and File Entity were just updated. Is this something that was overlooked? Or is this a File Entity issue?

Try re-downloading File entity in about 12 hours once the dev release has time to regenerate. If it's still a problem mark this back to active.

The issue is that the file_entity packing script adds version = "7.x-2.x-dev" after it is faked

Gah, the real issue here is our version comparing doesn't allow us to use (2.x) in a dependency with a module with version 7.x-2.x-dev. I'm going to remove the version-specific line from media.info.

I'll be looking out for an update. Just removed both and tried downloading again, but still the same...

So... Basically, only the dependency is the problem huh? I removed the (2.x) after File Entity in the media.info and it works.

I guess you'll let me know if there is something else that needs to be put there...

The issue is still present in the 7.x-2.x branch. Here is a simple patch to fix this. Since the dependency doesn't check for specific version the module homepage homepage should be changed to something like this.

Required modules for Media 7.x-2.x

  • CTools
  • File Entity 2.x
  • Views

Confirming that #7 above fixes things.

Does anyone know if there is any issue filed against core for requiring specific versions of modules in .info files?

I'm committed dependencies[] = file_entity (>1.99) which seems to work although it's a little ugly.
