I have a feeling the above is a solution waiting for problem, but from |
| 14 |
a flexibility standpoint I actually really like it :) |

Adding this kind of revision number will convolute the version |
| 17 |
comparison a bit, and the dep calculation will have to be patched to |
| 18 |
allow this (currently it only allows for real floating point numbers). |

I think we'll want to refactor the vercmp() so that there is a |
| 21 |
separate function for comparing version numbers (eg. 1.5 vs. 1.100 vs. |
| 22 |
1.02) which the revision comparison can use as well. |

Thanks for the input. |
