patch for 4.1
why would I want to slot this? upstream only supports 4.2 now. A lot of players are still using 4.1 and also a lot of servers running on 4.1. I think I'm not the only one who needs to change from time to time version - and very uncomfortable doing it, reinstalling the package every time. I really don't think that this is a common usecase to justify such a maintenance complication. 4.1 will not be in the tree for very long anyway. Once upstream declares 4.2 stable it will be treecleaned. This is just a migration problem and not a real case for slotting. The other way would be not to support beta versions at all. If you want such a fiddle install 4.2 via upstreams auto-updater into a separate location. Ok. Convinced :). In this case, close the bug. I'll just leave it in my local overlay. |
