I've spotted these lines
set website(basedir) [file dir [info script]]
set website(libdir) [file join $website(basedir) lib]
set website(3rdpartydir) [file join $website(basedir) .. 3rdparty]*
lappend ::auto_path [file normalize $website(libdir)]
is this the hierarchy of directories adjacent to the website code? What
if build the auto_path the way around?
set ::auto_path [concat [file normalize $website(libdir)] $::auto_path]
and have the packages take precedence?

Hi,
I'm trying to load only a 1.0 version of the package from a "3rdparty"
directory adjacent to the website code. I discovered that the 1.1 wasn't
100% compatible and that caused the Maintenance threads to cycle like
crazy without their customary waiting time. There were many many months
between using 1.0 on the website and installing the 1.1 package
independently so it caught me by surprise.
But the trouble came when I tried to load the /-exact ... 1.0/ version
and that failed because only 1.1 is available, now (with 1.1 installed
under /usr/local/....). It could not see the 1.0 anymore.
But, if I remove 1.1 from the system and restart apache then it loads
the 1.0 once again and uses it quite happily.
In the cut down test code I posted I couldn't replicate a step. With
both packages available I can successfully/package require -exact ...
1.0/, even with 1.1 installed under /usr/local/...
HOWEVER there is a little strangeness as the 1.0 package does not show
up in /package versions/, but I can still load it anyway.
Kind regards,
Scott
