Upstreams use all sorts of strange versioning schemes. Here is a small |
| 7 |
collection: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1_14 -> 1.14 (app-emacs/limit) |
| 10 |
1.0pre4 -> 1.0_pre4 (app-emacs/cedet) |
| 11 |
1.9.1-preview1 -> 1.9.1_pre1 (app-emacs/ruby-mode) |
| 12 |
2.0b6 -> 2.0_beta6 (app-emacs/chess) |
| 13 |
12B5 -> 12.2.5 (dev-lang/erlang) |
| 14 |
0.28 -> 28.0 (dev-lang/c-intercal, minor.major) |
| 15 |
-0.74 -> ?? (SmallEiffel, negative version number) |
| 16 |
1.-94.-2 -> ?? (CLC-Intercal, negative components) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
We have to draw the borderline somewhere, and I think our current |
| 19 |
rules are a reasonable compromise. |
