makes sense. Now the trouble is I'm not sure how to get rid of the
4.3-2 version that's on mentors. I can delete the premake4 mentors
page which seems like it's probably the way to go, but makes me
slightly nervous. Can anyone advise on how to best remove the 4.3-2
upload?
Yes. I don't know about the internals of cdbs but the build failed without it.

I haven't uploaded my changes yet, I thought I'd wait and see if
anyone can advise me on removing the 4.3-2 version.
