Hmm... no, I don't think I for one want that. It would mean I can't make
changes to third-party library from source A and still have third-party
software from source B work against it without a manual hack-and-
recompile. That would be against the spirit of Free Software, and the
letter of the LGPLv3 (which I see you picked for s5 and I approve of).
Yes, it would be nice to have a way of *referring* to a specific (...) as
you say. But having all code by default *depend* on a specific version
published by a specific entity? Bad idea, IMO.
For the matter, I don't think Libraries should be distributed as a site,
at all. I think they should just import the Library object into the
local host (possibly inside some "safe" location like /otd or /libraries
or even /lib). But it seems you have put some thought behind this
decision; would you mind sharing your reasoning with us?
best,
Lalo Martins
