I lost all my work on RPackage of yesterday - I cannot find the changes and the packages I
saved are corrupted
and now I would like to restart to load from a given version
but the ConfigurationOfRPackage
ConfigurationOfRPackage-StephaneDucasse.10
version10: spec
<version: '1.0' imports: #('1.0-baseline' )>
spec for: #'common' do: [
spec blessing: #'release'.
spec description: 'New version'.
spec author: 'AlexandreBergel'.
spec timestamp: '2/18/2011 12:53'.
spec
package: 'SystemAnnouncements' with:
'SystemAnnouncements-cyrilledelaunay.36';
package: 'RPackage-Core' with: 'RPackage-Core-AlexandreBergel.66';
package: 'RPackage-Tests' with: 'RPackage-Tests-cyrilledelaunay.26';
package: 'RPackage-UI' with: 'RPackage-UI-FernandoOlivero.16';
package: 'RPackage-SystemIntegration' with:
'RPackage-SystemIntegration-cyrilledelaunay.50'. ].
now when I do
ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: #'1.0'
is telling to me that there is no symbolic version and I do not get it.
I'm lost and really frustrated.

Becasuse you should not use symbols since they are for symbolic versions.
Do: ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: '1.0'
instead.

I did not know about this convention. I find this design to be unnecessarily confusing.
Why is this needed? Why not use strings / symbols interchangeable?

I mentioned something similar to this a few months ago. The reason is primarily for making
legacy configuration work.

I still do not understand why symbolic versions cannot be treated like normal versions (I
argued for this before :)). Their name should be unique within the overall versions
anyway, so I do not see where the compatibility would break.

Could you point me to the original mail where you argued for this?
From this thread I cannot tell (I know, I guess I am just dense:) what
the problem is nor what the proposed solution would be, so I cannot
comment without some more context...
It's quite possible that I missed the point the last time around, so
you'll have to start at the beginning of this conversation to bring me
into the loop:)

FWIW, I intended for symbolic versions to be in a separate namespace, so
that #stable, #bleedingEdge, #development and any other symbolic
versions wouldn't inadvertently collide with a literal version of the
same name.
Symbolic versions are defined differently and mean something different
from literal versions, so I wanted a user to be able to look at a load
expression and know that if she saw something that looked like this:
ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: #'1.0'
That she would not be surprised when the `ConfigurationOfRPackage
project currentVersion` answered '1.0-beta.28.3' and not #'1.0'.
So when someone gets the error 'Symbolic version not found' when they
try to run `ConfigurationOfRPackage project load: #'1.0'`, I say that it
is doing exactly what it should be doing ...
With that said, I don't deny that it is confusing, but really not any
more confustion than getting the error 'Version not found' when trying
to run the following expression `ConfigurationOfRPackage project load:
'1,0'`...There's a typo in the expression and it would be nice if the
error said, "you've put a #, instead of $. in the version name"...
Finally, I think that the distinction between symbolic versions and
literal versions will be much more obvious in the MetacelloBrowser and
typing errors won't be the primary issue...
