Setup already does all the necessary sorting in version order etc. to use these additional versions. The value of <foo> carries no meaning, but the setup.ini specification mandates the use of "[ver<digits>]". * PackageTrust.h (trusts): Add TRUST_OTHER. * inilex.ll: tokenize any other [version] as the T_OTHER token. * iniparse.yy: Add T_OTHER token and set package trust to TRUST_OTHER when it is used.
So, thinking about this change some more, I realize that there is a another way to do this, which doesn't break backwards compatibility with setup, by having multiple [prev] and [test] sections.
[1] doesn't say that these section names are unique, and setup doesn't require that, I'm going to claim that it's valid :)
Because of the way setup works, the last [test] section is the version which is selected when 'test' is selected, so a specific ordering of the sections would be required. The calm change to implement this is at [1].
So, for example we could have: @foo ... version: 250-0 ... [prev] version: 241-0 ... [prev] version: 243-0 ... [test] version: 251-0 ... [test] version: 252-0 ...250-0 would be current, 252-0 would be test, and the other versions would also be available to install.
