Re: Planned setup.ini changes for early 2018

* Migrate from setup.hint to pvr.hint in release area

I also plan to migrate all remaining setup.hints to pvr.hints in the release area (setup.hint in uploads have been automatically migrated since [5]).

This should have no effect on the generated setup.ini, but enables some complexity (some of which isn't implemented properly, see [6]) to be removed from calm.

I've done this migration today.

At some point in the future calm/mksetupini will stop supporting setup.hints in the release area. (calm will still accept and migrate uploads containing a setup.hint, as per [1])

So, for the record, if you have an up-to-date calm installed, this migration can be done with 'calm-tool hint-migrate [--releasearea=...]'
