False update suggested for Elixir 1.16

Closed this issue 3 months ago · 4 comments

There was an update suggested for Elixir recently. This attempted to update the 1.16 package to be 1.17. The problem being that we obviously want to keep the 1.16 package around without actually updating that to 1.17.

Is there something that we can do in order to prevent this kind of false update from happening? I would be more than happy to put the time in to work on it.

Would it work to give the Elixir packages explicit update scripts that restrict to the intended version ranges?

If that is how it normally works, I would be happy to do this. Do you have an example to point to?

Perfect! I will look into getting that applied to the Elixir versions. Thank you!
