I try to keep [1] accurate and up-to-date, but the 'specification' is
really "what setup accepts" :(
Currently, the ordering requirements are:
1) The version to be installed when test versions are selected (the
highest test, unless one is explicitly specified in override.hint) is
the last [test] section
2) [curr] is first
But since both these things are to work around historical setup
limitations, I don't think they merit mention in [1], and might not be
the case in a future when we no longer care about setup versions old
enough to need them.

Another (edited) snippet from setup.ini: (where the latest test entry is
not the last entry (of the "test" entries ?????)
@ xorg-server-common
sdesc: "X.Org X server common data"
ldesc: "X.Org X server common data"
category: X11
requires: dri-drivers perl_base xauth xcursor-themes xkbcomp
xkeyboard-config
version: 1.19.5-1 <- current
...
[test]
version: 1.19.3-2 <==== latest test?
...
[test]
version: 1.19.3-1
...
Thanks for pointing this out. This is due to a 'bug', which caused
incorrect ordering of test versions lower than curr.
That should be fixed now, but please let me know if you notice any other
problems.
