We could fix this in a future EAPI such that version components would |
| 14 |
not be split when matching. So =1.3* would not match 1.30 any more |
| 15 |
because the 30 could only be matched as a whole. |

OTOH, I am not aware of any problems caused by the current behaviour. |

Although I agree that it isn't logical. |

Another interesting example: Which of the following will match the |
| 21 |
package "cat/foo-1.02.3", and why: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
=cat/foo-1.020.3 |
| 24 |
=cat/foo-1.020.3* |
| 25 |
=cat/foo-01.02.3* |
| 26 |
