That's a valid atom.

x11-wm/dwm-6.1 is NOT a valid atom.

=x11-wm/dwm-6.1 would be nice to have, but the request is for an ARM keyword on whatever is current, which is to say any version, not a very specific one.

Please fix that bot.

Please see the description for the "package list field". Unqualified atoms are not valid in this field.

I believe the point of this field is to provide a list without ambiguity, in that you should pick a version, and then recursively ensure the right dependencies, in order to produce absolutely no confusion ( or choices ) that the arch-tester has to think about.

Providing a range opens the possibility that one-or-more possible atoms in the list have dependencies outside the list, which would be illegal.

It may be feasible to get a bot to consider this as well, but it dilutes the utility of even having this field if we do that.

Arch Testers should thus be told a narrow spec, and only arch testers who are sure they know what they're doing should deviate from that spec.

( And maintainers can then communicate any necessary keywording afterwards just like they do when they bump a version )

add ~arm.
