in the YP dev manual, section 3.1.6, there is a maddeningly vague note:
"It is possible for a recipe with a lower version number PV in a layer that has a higher priority to take precedence."
so does it take precedence or not? just saying it's "possible" doesn't clarify it for the reader.
Yes, this should be re-worded. This is actually a FAQ. (I remember more sentences like this exist, that especially for non-English speakers might be difficult to interpret.)
i'm betting i'm going to find all of them eventually. :-)
My proposal would be:
If a recipe exists in multiple layers, the recipe with highest PV *from the layer with the highest priority* is selected. Be aware that recipes with the same PN in lower priority layers are thus not selected, *even if their PV is higher*.
right ... higher layer priority takes precedence over higher version number. i'll submit something for that.
