Is this only to explain the syntax or are there plans to |
| 5 |
extend the allowed versions for pms? |

There is a reason why pms currently does not allow "-" as separators |
| 8 |
within versions (with the exception of -r): |

With this general syntax, you would have a hard time to split |
| 11 |
into name and version for e.g. |
| 12 |
media-fonts/font-bitstream-75dpi-1.0.3 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(Currently the version starts at the latest /-[0-9]/ match.) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Also the ordering needs a discussion when version strings are |
| 17 |
allowed which are not covered by PMS. Note that e.g. |
| 18 |
02 > 1 while 1.02 < 1.1 |
| 19 |
Is it still "correct" to have 1-02 < 1-1? |
