Question. Has Mike or Patrick updated the documentation yet? I
started to update the wiki a couple of months ago but put it off as
I didn't want the wiki to reflect something that you couldn't yet
use. Plus the behavior changed slightly since then.
If they haven't beaten me to it, I'd be happy to do this as I
promised (hoping they will review it of course).
I will also help because we need a spec that people can read to
understand what exactly happens. There is a fundamental level of
confusion as to how snapshots work, how versions work where, and how
you accurately control what versions get pulled in. Ralph, I would
certainly work with you to make an APT or Confluence document.
Wherever is fine with me.

Hi,
After working with it a little this week I would like to propose
to make MNG-1577 behavior introduced the default. Builds are
completely and totally unpredictable without this behavior. The
behavior in 2.0.5 is fundamentally broken. To are totally prey to
any dependency introduced by a dependency which makes no sense and
completely counter intuitive. I stabilized a massive build this
week simply by using the behavior present in the 2.0.x branch. I
don't think we're doing anyone any favors leaving the old behavior
in. After watching a disaster be recovered by using this new
behavior I feel that the patch should go in as is and become the
default behavior. This puts the user in control which is the way
it should be.
I propose we make this the default behavior. Can anyone think of a
case where this degree of control would break an existing build?
This patch saved my bacon this week, I think this behavior makes a
world of difference to users.
Jason.
