That is what I would expect, or it may be from-version to-version > That way the software can simply say is; my_rm_version in rm_versions. > > The question is who validates the archetypes against each rm_version; > the original author? > well it has to be tool driven, and the thing is that the answer will clearly change over time, e.g. when Release 1.1 is published, some archetypes, but not all, will have their compatibility updated from ['1.0','1.0.2'] to ['1.0','1.1'] I suppose it is conceivable that there could be incompatibilities in intervening minor versions that disappear later on, if so, the list representation would be needed. I would say it needs to be constantly evaluated in an archetype service, probably based on meta-data supplied from CKM or similar places. - thomas
