After all this time I feel that I should know the answer to this, but here
goes.
I have fish-3.4.1-1, a bugfix release. I want it to replace fish-3.4.0-1,
leaving fish-3.3.1-1 as the previous release.
What's the best way to do this? Should I create override.hint, with
keep: 3.3.1-1
replace-versions: 3.4.0-1
? This seems as though it might be right, but one question I have is, will
override.hint persist in future releases unless I replace it?
Or, should I just set
prev: 3.3.1-1
in fish.cygport, and let cygport and calm handle it from there?
The explicit 'prev/test/curr: <version>' lines which could appear in
setup.hint aren't supported anymore (see [1]), since there are now
different, hopefully better and less ambiguous ways of conveying that
information.
