Great, thanks for that. I actually need to pin a bunch of packages (e.g.
https://github.com/mirage/mirage-bootvar-xen/issues/15) to get the unkernel
booting appropriately, but I don’t see how to specify that in config.ml -
I’m just listing package names, and so I suspect that someone else trying
out the project will run into issues with the wrong version of the package
- what's the solution here?
