Thanks for the clarity Hannes. Here are some finer points to note about this:
- This is nothing new, it's been this way forever.
- It only affects when installing at the package level, not the
release level which is the normal use case.
- If there is only one release for a particular Squeak version (the
usual case), then there is only one correct version to load, even
though the Warning is annoying and/or disruptive.
- checking the 'published' box will make it so the Warning is not
displayed during the above conditions
I think we now have a clearer understanding of the potential use for
the "published" flag -- what you said Hannes -- for the case when
there is more than one release per Squeak release, although I suppose
it should probably pick the most recent then... Hmm...
