What it is not fun is that since eliot restarted with the numbers, cog version are always at the end. For example, the lates cog version .46 is muuuch before (in the monticello browser) that the lastest of standard vm (246)

yeah, i used naming:
VMMaker-oscog-Igor.Stasenko.nnn.mcz

and it is listed in separate list 'VMMaker-oscog' on repository, which
is must easier to find because it is not mixed with original VMMaker
branch.

Imo this naming scheme is better than used by Eliot.


> In the squeaksource page, when you see "latest" you see really the latest, which in this case is the 246 of the normal squeakVM, It seems "latest" uses the order you see in the monticello browser (version number) instead of the timestamp of the commit.
