multiple sources versions in lookaside cache

[Gianluca Sforna]

I wanted to download sources for a package and it seems the cache
hosts several older releases (see below). Is it the normal/intended
behavior?

At the moment we keep everything forever.  I notice your 'sources' file
has all the sources listed in it, that's why it is downloading multiple
sources.  You can delete all but the one you want from your sources file
(in each branch)

And which likely is due to using "make upload FILES=..." rather than "make
new-sources FILES=...". Use the latter if you want to _replace_ the
contents of the "sources" and .cvsignore files when doing a version
upgrade.

I'm not the maintainer for that package but I actually wondered how
would that happen.

Thank you both for the useful info.
