Eventually I think we’ll rather check the Git commit that this corresponds to, compared to the latest one available (though that’s tricky since it involves making a network connection.) So that’s what we have for now. As long as you don’t fiddle manually with the ‘latest’ symlink, everything should be fine; otherwise be prepared for things like this. Ludo’.
