IN principle it should have sufficed to just untest > these. I can try that next time with dash (see below). From the setup extracts below you can see that does not change the previous two releases kept. I thought in recent discussion, stable releases had to be bumped to replace test releases, so I did that with grep, where a test of a recent release replaced an earlier test release, and readline: grep 3.7-2 version: 3.7-2 [test] version: 3.6-1 [prev] version: 3.0-1 [prev] version: 3.0-2 [test] version: 3.7-1 libreadline-devel 8.1-2 libreadline7 8.1-2 readline-debuginfo 8.1-2 version: 8.1-2 [prev] version: 7.0.1-2 [prev] version: 7.0.3-3 [test] version: 8.1-1 but gzip had a new recent release, mostly gnulib, autotools, NetBSD, IBM Z390, and checked clean, so I released that as stable: version: 1.11-1 [prev] version: 1.7-2 [prev] version: 1.8-1 [test] version: 1.10-1 and a new dash was released, but as that's so critical to installs I'm keeping that release also in test for another couple of weeks: version: 0.5.9.1-1 [test] version: 0.5.11.4-1 [prev] version: 0.5.8-2 [prev] version: 0.5.8-3 [test] version: 0.5.11.5-1 and I use that as my production /bin/sh, which ensures it gets worked as hard as bash by X launches, hourly and daily cron jobs, and scheduled tasks. -- Take care.
