[lively-kernel] Lively repository version system: How to find out what version I am running?

[Milan Zimmermann]

Thanks Robert, for the description.

After more searching, I am also now realizing versioning is also described here

http://lively-kernel.org/repository/webwerkstatt/versions/2_0_Welcome.xhtml

Sorry to have missed that.

Now I can report bugs or ask questions with confidence I am running
the latest :)

Later,

Milan
