Description

Serve legacy bottles; e.g., if the current mas version can only support macOS 10.13 & newer, then serve a bottle for the newest version of mas that supports each prior version of macOS, like 1.8.6 for macOS 10.11 & 10.12.

Research direction

Start by inspecting how this tap defines and publishes bottles for macOS, then identify where the supported macOS versions and legacy mas versions are represented. Compare the current version with the example version 1.8.6 and determine how bottles for macOS 10.11 and 10.12 would be served. Done means each prior supported macOS version receives the newest compatible bottle.
