[ECOS] can't get ecosconfig to use "current" version

[ECOS] can't get ecosconfig to use "current" version

[Grant Edwards]

After moving our source tree from VSS to SVN, I can no longer
get ecosconfig to work.  It always used to configure the
"current" version by default.  Now it uses v2_0 of a packate if
it's available and current if it's not.

If I try to tell ecosconfig to use the current version it
complains:

    $ ecosconfig new dm2 net current
    
    Usage: ecosconfig [ qualifier ... ] [ command ]
      commands are:
        list                                       : list repository contents
        new TARGET [ TEMPLATE [ VERSION ] ]        : create a configuration
        target TARGET                              : change the target hardware
        template TEMPLATE [ VERSION ]              : change the template
      [...]

If I leave off the "current", it selects v2_0 (which won't
configure/build because of conflicts between packages).

So I've got two questions

 1) What would cause ecosconfig to decided it likes v2_0 better
    than current?

 2) How do I tell it I want current?

I had to remove templates/net/v2_0.ect.  After removing that
file, ecosconfig defaulted to "current".

Why was ecosconfig choosing templates/net/v2_0.ect instead of 
templates/net/current.ect?

Others have apparently run into this and haven't been able to
find an answer either.

This seems to be a known problem:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.ecos.general/17834/focus=17837

According to the above thread, the bug in command-line parsing
that is rejecting the version specifier has been fixed. But,
I'd still like to know how ecosconfig decides what version it's
going to build by default.  I've searched the Users Guide, the
Reference Guide, and the Component Writers Guide, and didn't
find any documentation on ecosconfig other than a few examples.
