Hello, i have seen in the latest version of Pharo baselines pointing to "floating" versions. A version that is not fixed. I want to know why this is like that?
Because that is the way it should be? It is hand-edited, so repeatable builds are not the goal, just working software. Repeatable builds come from recording what you loaded in what order. Repeatable builds with fixed dependency versions don't help you with working software, as they block your dependencies from getting patched. Never depend on hard-coded versions of anything you don't control yourself. See the 5D paper Stephan Eggermont
