I'm looking for some help regarding making an add-on repository. I've look at the wiki and didn't find the answer I was looking for.

If the repo would combine both stable and beta version of the same add-on, what is the best or simplest way to make sure they don't overwrite each other? Is a complete different version number the best way to proceed (for example, stable v.9.7 vs beta v.0.9.7)? Would adding the word "beta" to the name work? Mostly, what I'm trying to prevent is the confusion when updating the add-on later. I want to avoid the beta add-on update from updating someone using the stable version and vice versa.

Thank you for your time!

a single repository cannot host multiple version of an addon.

you have to either
1) use separate repositories
2) use a different id e.g. my.plugin.beta

Thank you so much for your reply. That's exactly the information I was looking for
