upload with "previous"

upload with "previous"

[Thomas Wolff]

I wanted to upload mintty 3.1.6 with a specific setup.hint containing
curr: 3.1.6
prev: 3.1.4
but got it wrong so the upload was "normal" instead.
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:

https://cygwin.com/packaging-hint-files.html#override.hint

(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:

I think you'd rather want to delete the 3.1.5 version, in which case no
override.hint is necessary.

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.
