we normally only package the latest released version; indeed this dates
from 2019 and is 6.2.0 according to their webpage.
Is a newer package really needed? Why this commit from 2020, and not another
one from 2024? Their git repository is, let us say, unusual: The master
branch has not seen any commit after the 6.2.0 release except for a license
change. Work seems to be done in the origin/release/6.3.0 branch.
So without compelling reason, I would suggest to not do the update;
in any case it could not be called 6.3.0, since there is no such release.
Maybe joining issue
https://github.com/Gecode/gecode/issues/177
from last August to make a new release would be a path forward?
