I have one: sometimes I have a hackish recipe that I keep in my LocalRecipes tree (which works "well enough" but it's not okay for the official repo), and I keep it updated using NewVersion. Not very noble, I admit, but it's a realistic use case for running NewVersion using local recipes as a basis. I'd expect NewVersion to use the latest available (local or remote) as a basis. In case both have the same version number, then I guess asking the user which to pick sounds like a reasonable behavior. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
