             Bug #: 5673
           Summary: if user has newer version of module than exists in
                    repository, old version will be downloaded
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Kepler
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build system
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

Summary: We should probably fix the logic here -- don't download an older
version of a module a user already has.

Background:
Doing some sensor-view pre-release testing I:
started Kepler-2.3
switched to reporting-2.3
quit kepler
hacked kepler's module manager configuration.xml to use the test-releases area
restarted kepler
accepted test-releases patches
restarted kepler manually (patch downloader can apparently still fail to
restart kepler successfully)
changed to sensor-view-0.9

And at this point, apple-extensions-2.1.0 got downloaded into
KeplerData/kepler.modules. This is because the test area didn't have
apple-extension-2.1.1. Unless this is something special to do w/
apple-extensions, this means it's possible MM will download old unnecessary
modules when the user has a newer version. Except for testing like this, this
seems an unlikely problem scenario currently, but there are likely problems
lurking should we try using suites composed of modules on different
repositories.
