7 Hmmm, well, you're partially correct, it was my mistake. This should
8 follow the operators how they are used in DEPEND/RDEPEND. I should have
9 said:
10
11 =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2*
12
13 (note the asterisk). Which would include the newest 2.3.2 version, but not
14 anything earlier (<=2.3.1) or later (>=2.3.3). In the case of using ~,
15 one would use
16
17 ~sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2
18
19 not
20
21 ~sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r9.
