Sorry to be the bearer of possibly bad news. It *seems* as if sinan does not update its repo when a dependent release is updated. If it's using the dependent release version number to discriminate, that might be a bit dangerous during development. I thought it used an MD5 checksum of the tar file or something like that.
To reproduce the problem, I have uploaded to the files area test case sinan project directory that has a dummy library release and a dummy application that uses the library (sinan_test_case1.tar.gz). $ tar xfz sinan_test_case1.tar.gz $ cd sinan_test_case/mylib $ sinan clean;sinan dist $ faxien install-release $ faxien publish (don't know if this step is needed) $ cd ../myapp (makes use of mylib) $ sinan clean;sinan release Then make a change to an erl file in mylib, and go through the whole cycle again. After this is done, do a directory of the sinan repository and compare the beam files of mylib there to those under mylib/_build. The repo is clearly out of date (see directory listing at end of email). Who cares? Well, if you innocently try to test the myapp build using "sinan shell", you get to use the stale versions of the beam files IN THE SINAN REPO (see below), NOT the installed versions or even the most recently compiled ones. This does not seem right and certainly violates the Principle Of Least Astonishment. Well, I was astonished anyway. $ sinan shell [snip] 1> rp(code:get_path()).
