[Cuis-dev] [Important] Additional packages for Stable (LTS) releases (was Re: Re : Re: Beta for Cuis 7.0 stable, Rolling Release is 7.1)

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Hi Ken,

I don't understand why you want DrGeo working with different versions of 
Cuis. This will be waste of human resource.

 From the DrGeo perspective, what is needed: can it be developed with 
stable release of Cuis. My previous attempt with Cuis 6.2 was a failure 
because some needed packages evolved with Cuis 6.3. I then switched back 
to Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev for my peace of mind, which is a paroxysm.

I don't how for all, but from my point of view, if I should use again a 
stable Cuis release, I will need to:

- fetch the needed, known compatible versions of the packages I need, 
without the need to spend three hours finding them

- when I do a git pull, or pullAllRepos these packages should remain to 
the compatible version.

 From a package maintainer POV, I need to know how to tag a given 
version (likely in git version number) of the package to be compatible 
with a given Cuis release. Likely, sadly,  the package own version 
number will be of no use.
