What happens if you want to cast both version, eg, stable and devel gimp? Would this make dispelling spells more complex, ie, if I cast gimp configured to devel and then cast gimp configured to stable, would it dispel the previous devel version. This certainly adds complexity to the system.

If this sourcemage is aimed towards users, if someone casts name_of_app it should install the stable version. If you want something else you should cast name_of_app-cvs or name_of_app-devel. There could be a standard format for these kind of spell.

Having all versions of a spell in one may make the maintanance of a spell more difficult.

Cheers, Duane.

I'd like to cast just one spell and be prompted whether I want release or cvs version.


Like the Firebird spell for example! Sometimes when I know what app I want to install
I simply try "cast name_of_app", and having the prompt for the cvs/devel
version in the spell at least makes me aware that the option exists!
