[gentoo-dev] RFC: sh versionator.eclass

[Roy Marples]

I would like to propse a new versionator.eclass for consideration (attached).

This version, I believe, is more readable and maintainable then the one 
currently in portage. It also uses a lot less code and has the bonus of being 
pure sh.

It has not been tested in any ebuilds, but it does pass the self test from 
portage as it stands. No doubt the nit pickers can invent new tests where 
this one fails and the current one does not - I shall address this when they 
do.

Comments are welcome.

Thanks

Roy
