Did you see section 1.4 of the planet docs? Also there are two bugs (both of which are in 5.1.3 I believe):
- one bug prevented planet from re-using downloaded packages; this has been fixed - the second bug prevented the linkage table from working (the bug's result caused just always ignored the linkage table). I kept that bug by making it clear that linkage table isn't work (stubbing out the code). I see I forgot to update the docs; I'll fix that. I posted here about the second bug and no one replied so I took that to mean that no one cared about this form of "automatic upgrade". Here is the message: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03891.html As for your specific questions, I don't think what you write is what planet does, but maybe what you actually think is different (as I'm not completely clear about what you mean); hopefully the above clarifies...
