--------------------------+------------------------------
hardlink_packages.py will mis-parse versions sometimes resulting in
unexpected results.
Example:
* Take https://git.haiku-
os.org/haiku/commit/build/jam/repositories/HaikuPorts/arm?id=81afd20b2131a3f6941e086f7a6ff1aa67237065
* Bump gnu_efi_kernel from 3.0.9-1 to 3.0.10-1.
Leverage hardlink_packages.py, and provide a source package pool with
gnu_efi_kernel 3.0.9-1 and 3.0.10-1.
hardlink_packages.py will silently adjust the arm repo back to use 3.0.9
instead of 3.0.10.
I'm assuming the parsing of 9 > 1.
Workaround is to select just the packages you want for the source pool,
and remove older packages from it.
