This works great, except for one thing: There are some packages for which the "current" versions are broken, at least for me, so I want to keep the "prev" or some other already-installed version of the package. Is there a way to specify in the setup invocation that I want a particular version of a particular package? For example, I'd like to write setup.exe --quiet-mode --packages bzr=2.3.1-1,openssh=prev,... I've tried to run that, but it doesn't work - everything between the = and the next comma is ignored. So the current versions of those packages always get installed. Is there a way to do this that's not documented yet? If not, is there any inclination to add it?
