Re: [Pharo-users] Zinc loading problems (as project dep) - versions mess

I can't understand a mess in Zinc packages versions. I downloaded fresh 6.1 
(32bit) image from pharo.org, opened Monticelo Browser and searced for 
'Zinc-HTTP' package.
There is version Zinc-HTTP (TheIntegrator.461). Repository info points to 
"http://mc.stfx.eu/ZincHTTPComponents"; by default, so I opened the repository 
and there is no packages with "TheIntegrator". Even version numbers are 
different - version SvenVanCaekenberghe.461 is different if I diff it. It looks 
like the version TheIntegrator.461 is close to SvenVanCaekenberghe.453.

Next test: when I run this code in fresh image:

ConfigurationOfZincHTTPComponents project load: #stable

there is Zinc-HTTP (SvenVanCaekenberghe.453) after load. Why not 475 (it's 
stable or not)?

And now, I'm totally confused.
