14 For the most part it seems to get upstream / portage versioning right,
15 but occasionally you get miss-matches for some reason.
16
17 It would be nice to allow to provide some mapping mechanism that
18 existed on the overlay itself to inform euscan how to map upstream
19 versions to downstream ones, but implementing that would be far too
20 complex I feel.
21
22 Instead, it would be nice to have a mechanism in the interface to set
23 a "Upstream version is" value for each package if euscan can't tell.
24
25 Ie:

27 http://euscan.iksaif.net/package/dev-perl/HTML-TreeBuilder-LibXML/
28
29 Upstream is 0.71 , portage is ( normalised ) to 0.710.0 , and these
30 are in fact the same version. So in 0.710.0 , it would be nice to be
31 able to set the upstream version manually to 0.71 so that euscan no
32 longer reported it as outdated.

49 intolerable cruelty.
