@boussaffawalid Could you explain why do you need this feature?

I think it is very handy to provide an alias to the latest built package. In our ci we deduct the conan package version from the git commit sha, which create a new package version for every commit.

For example:

  • commit c1 will create a package pkg_name/1.0.0-c1@me/stable
  • commit c2 will create a package pkg_name/1.0.0-c2@me/stable .....

The idea is to have an alias package pkg_name/latest@me/stable that always point to the latest package.

What do you think ?
