[squeak-dev] How to tell which package version?

I'm trying to determine which version of Monticello I have. The Monticello
Browser says "Monticello-edc.312". How to I translate this to a version,
such as "1.5"? Or should I be looking somewhere else?

Thanks - Sophie

As far as Monticello is concerned...

1.0 exists in three streams, depending upon where you find it. edc.312
is the 3.10 version with Ralphs loader.

1.5 is recognizable by the presence of the package ".Orphanage", things
that fail to load do not raise errors, but wait in the orphanage until
they are loadable.

1.6 is 1.5, with the preference "atomic loading" enabled, and
SystemEditor loaded.

edc is me , but the Monticello on Squeak 3.10 is from Ralph, is plain old
good trusted Monticello 1.

And I advice you use it until Colin finish Monticello 2.

OK, thanks. Is there a way to figure this out for myself, for a general
package? Is the connection between the monticello number & the version
number nowhere in the image?

In general the answer is no. Monticello only knows its version numbers.

however

Monticello 1.5 supports traditional version numbering schemes...

e.g.

MyPackage-kph.1.0.34.mcz
