#bleedingEdge baseline and stable version

Hi!

I am just wondering whether it makes sense to have stable version that imports a bleedingEdge.

Cheers,
Alexandre

Need more detailed example of what you are thinking ... sample config
will give me enough info answer the question...

I am just wondering whether what I am seeing in the browser is coherent.
When I see MetacelloBrowser in the browser, 1.59.2-baseline is marked as #bleedingEdge and 1.59.2 is stable.

Cheers,
Alexandre

The #bleedingEdge symbolic version identifies the "latest baseline
version". Here's the description of #bleedingEdge from my blog post:

   A symbolic version that specifies the latest mcz files and project
   versions. By default the #bleedingEdge symbolic version is defined as
   the latest baseline version available. The default specification for
   #bleedingEdge is defined for all projects. The #bleedingEdge version
   is primarily for developers who know what they are doing. There are
   no guarantees that the #bleedingEdge version will even load, let
   alone function correctly.

When you load a baseline version, the latest mcz files for each package
are loaded and the #bleedingEdge symbolic version is telling you _if you
want to load the latest mcz files on for this project, use this version_
... it may change depending upon which platform you are on ...

For most users, the baseline information isn't relevant and I have been
tempted off and on to completely hide the baseline versions ...

I haven't done that because I know that the Moose project uses baselines
more than literal versions for development ... I _am_ interested in
feedback from Doru and company about that things might be done
differently in the MetacelloBrowser to better support the Moose project...

There are a number of different options possible, but at the moment I'm
waiting for feedback from other users to find out what types of changes
make the most sense ...

Maybe the versions can appear above the baselines on the right hand side.
