Request for arbitrage: update to current removed
Request for arbitrage: Changed the description to note that an update goes for the current version. Think the destinction is relevant because it doesn't allow you to pick one, it decides for you and picks the current one. Sovainfo (talk) 05:21, 1 May 2014 (CDT)
- Agreed, the update is only the most current one. You do not have a choice if on 3.2.0 to update to 3.2.1, you'll get 3.2.4 or 3.3.0. Tom Hutchison (talk) 07:53, 1 May 2014 (CDT)
- Sorry but you are incorrect because the update version can be defined in an xml file situated on a URL defined in the 'Custom' Server field. Topazgb 13:21, 1 May 2014 (CDT)
- One has nothing to do with the other, but I can see what you are thinking. The problem is the word 'current' is used as it should be. The goal is to keep the users on the 'current' release, not a previous release. "A/an" is indefinite and "the" is specific. "A" current update would imply a non specific choice or even multiple choices for the end user. "The" current update would be the specific update offered, the "current" update. Since users aren't presented with a choice of updates, e.g. 3.0 installed, update to 3.1.0, 3.0.1, 3.2.4, 3.3.0, now pick one, "the current update" is appropriate as it is one specific update. Even if a user changes to a custom URL, different server(LTS or STS), only one update is presented, which may not be the current one, but to the component it is the current one(higher version compared to what is installed). Hope that helps. Tom Hutchison (talk) 09:33, 2 May 2014 (CDT)
