Hi,
Today I wanted to update my manifest with
musescore-3.6.2, ardour, audacity, obs, vlc.
and it wanted to build musescore 4.02 (the current new version).
I stopped it immeadiately.
I was wondering why the update didn’t want to keep musescore-3.6.2
even though the version 3.6.2 is clearly in the manifest.
If so, I can never update this manifest
or I create a separate musescore-3.6.2 profile
with only that package, which I will never update.
Kind regards
Gottfried
