Narrowspark Automatic Prefetcher supports on `skipping legacy package tags`.

You have two ways to skip old tags of a package.

The first one is to use the `composer.json extra` field, add `prefetcher` inside of this a `require` key, then you packages with the version you want start skipping.

```
{
    "extra": {
        "prefetcher": {
            "require": {
                "symfony/symfony": "4.2.*",
                "next package": "1.*"
            }
        }
    }
}
```

And the second one is to use the global `env` variable

```
export AUTOMATIC_PREFETCHER_REQUIRE="symfony/symfony:4.2.*[, and you next package]"
```
