In order to support my tablet which seems to have a lower maximum integer
value (I guess it’s 32-bit? I’m surprised) and can’t handle the version numbers
I was using before. It would turn them into floating point numbers, which adds a
~.0~, this made it impossible to install any package.
Any installations I have will need to reinstall all their oni packages so that
the new version number is picked up, since the new version number will be lower
than the old one.
It’s possible that someone enters a URL that isn’t part of the
‘package-archives’ variable. If the name entered doesn’t correspond to a name in
‘package-archives’, use it directly, assuming that it was a URL that was
specified.
Typos are too easy having to type in the ‘archive-url’ argument every time on
its own. Since you’re probably posting to an archive that you also use, reading
from the ‘package-archives’ seems appropriate.
