[Bioperl-l] After Checkout of Bioperl-live version doesn't seem to change

[Lacey Sanderson]

It returned "1.006"... unfortunately no 9 at the end... Any idea why  
it doesn't seem to be picking up the bioperl-live checkout?

PS. Why do the distributions have version numbers like 1.5.2 and 1.6  
and yet the bioperl-live (which I take to be the most current version  
of bioperl) returns 1.069?
