Closes #776
If the current environment is a package this makes
pkg> add
auto add compat entries for the new direct dependencies.I don't think we'd want to make this standard practice for the default envs, hence being specific to packages, but maybe there's an argument that it should be done for unnamed environments other than the defaults? Like the envs stored alongside scripts.
The compat entries are set to be lower-bounded by the installed patch version (which makes this work for JLLs).
It feels safer than relying on semver and setting it to
Base.thisminor(v)
.
