Why can I deploy packages in my current Winter 9 Sandbox to my production organization running Summer 8?
Packages published from a Winter ’09 organization may contain new features incompatible with the Summer ’08 release. Once your production organization is upgraded to Winter ’09 as well, you will be able to install the packages from Sandbox. As a best practice, we recommend using the Force.com Migration Tool or the Force.com IDE rather than packages for migrating configuration changes from Sandbox to a production organization. These tools will allow you to migrate changes from a Sandbox running Winter ’09 to a production organization running Summer ’08–just make sure you download the metadata files from your Sandbox using the 13.0 (Summer ’08) endpoint, so they are compatible with your production organization.
