No one can, yet, because there's a real argument going on between the people who have to live with the versioning scheme on the infrastructure and security side and the people who want to use it in the UI. In particular, there are non-trivial security issues with identifying activities internally with _anything_ spoofable - i.e. with any identifier that an activity can 'claim' without reference to some more primitive sense of identity (e.g. a cryptographic manifest). Consequently, as I have claimed on the several other occasions when this discussion has come up, we are _not_ going to decide on an activity naming and versioning scheme without having written down our use cases and checked that the proposed design satisfies them. What _should_ be happening in this thread is the collection of use cases. For a "small" selection of the issues involved, please refer to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Commentaries/Bundles_1 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mstone/Commentaries/Bundles_2 Regards, Michael _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
