< version specifiers

Question

From on May 31, 2017 9:41

(I've filed this via email but I thought I'd christen the new issue tracker too)

I’ve got a few old repos where we were locking foreman at < 0.64. As it turns out, this isn’t necessary any more but dependabot is changing that to the current version, but still with the < specifier. So the update says 0.84, but the Gemfile now says < 0.84 (i.e. 0.83). Not sure what the right solution is really, but thought you’d like to know :)

Example change at https://github.com/theodi/static/pull/237

Thanks . We'll have a think about this one - not totally obvious to me when we'd want to keep the matcher and when we'd want to remove it, but it's definitely a bit weird in the case you've outlined!
