GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781012
Pick up the unstable manifest when possible
Last modified: 2018-01-11 10:24:57 UTC
Applications in GNOME now deliver different manifests for different versions. GNOME Builder picks up the first that finds (I think), but we would probably one to take the unstable one, since building another version is something that probably only the maintainer would do for testing reasons. For that, maybe we can add a "gotcha" and always pick up the manifest with *unstable* in the file name? This is good for the newcomers experience.
Builder does find both, but I guess you're saying the unstable one should be selected by default, unless the user has previously selected another. I wonder where that preference would be persisted to.
We can add a relocatable gsettings schema that is org.gnome.builder.project with a path like /org/gnome/builder/projects/$project_id which contains the id of the default configuration.
