I think it's a very bad idea to truncate version numbers. Version numbers are important, and there may be a critical difference x.y.0 and x.y.1. Plus there is no guarantee that the updated version is better than the previous one. Hence a programmer may need to go back to x.y.0 until x.y.2 is released.
Perhaps there should be an option somewhere to remove existing installations (maybe there is????), however by default, installing a new version of a programming language, should not uninstall existing versions. -- Charlotte Maia Open Source Developer and Statistician http://sites.google.com/site/maiagx ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
