Subject: Re: bin/56961: [PATCH] pkg_install: match package version numbers
with relational operators
Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 22:20:01 +0200
Just for the record:
This and other features have been integrated into port sysutils/pkg_install-devel,
which is used to compare version numbers in portaudit.
The version number sort and matching rules have silghtly changed from those cited
above (as of pkg_install-devel version 20040512):
- version numbers using `+' now sort as expected
- a missing patchlevel number now sorts as -1 for consistency with missing
version numbers, giving 10.a < 10.a0, which is in line with the existing tools
- a component `*' has been introduced, which is guaranteed to sort *before* every other
number, so that >=2.* <3.* will match *all* 2.x releases (Even 2.alpha)
- csh style {} glob pattern can be used
