How so? Maybe you mean to say that 2.a > 2.* ? I find that rather confusing. > Btw, at least for pkg_install-devel we have 2.pl0 < 2.a. How did that become broken? What does 2.pl0 even mean? Do you have an example? I'm certain that is against our naming conventions. I'm concerned because I have a function that converts a package version into a 128 bit integer, such that if the package version A is greater than package version B, then f(A) > f(B). If the versioning rules are being changed, I wanna know (and I'd also like to know why). Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine / nectar@celabo.org / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@freebsd.org
