I'm now a little confused about how to accomplish this with the new pvr.hint scheme. I think I just need to upload an override.hint file, but I'm not sure what its contents should be nor whether I need to make one for each package or just one for the entire directory. Subversion has many child packages, so I get a dist tree with the top-level subversion package and then subdirectories for each child package. Now each of these have a separate pvr.hint file. I'm trying to package 1.9.5-1 and 1.8.17-1. Would I do this by creating an override.hint file in the top-level dist directory with the contents: prev: 1.8.17-1 Is that sufficient? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, David -- David Rothenberger ---- daveroth@acm.org ... Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror, and you would not have been informed.
