For review. Marcopg didn't like this patch when is_dir was hackier in the packed case (which never gets exercised), so I've fixed that part. From 8ed4af6b7197625026945c75e0296bba5c5cf961 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chema [EMAIL PROTECTED](none) Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:58:12 -0600 Subject:

That's true, however I think it's also been agreed that we need support for, at a minimum, major and minor version numbers for activities. We should probably make some final decisions on that and make sure that any software that depends on integers is prepared to consider anything of version X
