Hey Bert,<div><br></div><div>I wasn't aware of host_version - it looks like it's supported for content bundles, with any value other than 1 (hardcoded) raising a MalformedBundleException. It's ignored for activity bundles. So basically it was written into the spec and then dropped.</div> <div><br></div><div>I suppose we could resurrect host_version, or else add the new field. I'm open to either avenue. (Though I feel like just using the Sugar version as the value would be simpler than maintaining an independent version number)</div> <div><br></div><div>-Wade </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 7:43 AM, Bert Freudenberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bert@freudenbergs.de">bert@freudenbergs.de</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> (moving to devel list)<br> <br> I thought that's what host_version is for?<br><font color="#888888"> <br> - Bert -</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> <br> On 28.09.2009, at 02:40, Wade Brainerd wrote:<br> <br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Tentative patches posted to <a href="http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1442" target="_blank">http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1442</a>.<br> <br> An Alert when attempting to install the .xo bundle would be really nice, but this at least prevents the activity from appearing in the list.
