Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2010-05-09 15:19:39 EDT 
In order to deal with the new format of requirements, we have introduced the generation attribute in the serialized format of an IU (see test PersistNegation). 
It could be interesting for a repository to have the ability to indicate which generation of IU it wants to persist and the failure behaviour to adopt when an IU of a non supported generation is encountered (e.g dismiss, warn, fail).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
