I wanted to upload mintty 3.1.6 with a specific setup.hint containing

I've now uploaded just the setup.hint (mintty-3.1.6-1.hint) and !ready
files manually. Will that work or should I repeat the complete upload?
These 'curr' and prev' key are only valid in an override.hint file:

Correction: per [1], 'prev:' isn't actually valid in override.hint
anymore, since it didn't actually do anything much.
So all you are really saying here is 'curr: 3.1.6', which calm is
capable of working out anyhow, and will be wrong when the next version
is uploaded (and require you to remember to remove it then).
So, um, yeah.

(It's unclear how these should be interpreted if they were present with
different values in the hints for different versions)
However, in this case since you simply wish to withdraw 3.1.5-1, I'd
suggest you use the provided mechanism to delete that version:
