Would it be a good idea to officially add to "info.rkt" a
"planet-version" variable, which indicates that the directory tree
corresponds to a particular PLaneT package and version?
For example:
(define planet-version 'joebob/soundex:1:=2)
The "=" in this example is optional.
I currently use an unofficial variable like this (called
"mcfly-planet"), in generating PLaneT package documentation, and for
managing development links. I plan to also use this variable for making
uploads to PLaneT with some safety checks.
Perhaps other tools would also like to use this information. And
perhaps they'd prefer to use an official variable, not an ad-hoc
variable that's named specific to my documentation tool.
If there's going to be an official "planet-version" variable, I'd like
to start using it. Or I can keep using "mcfly-planet" or something
unofficial-looking like that.
