It would be better to use ">~pkg-category/package-0.0.1". this allows |
| 11 |
patch level updates, such as 0.0.1-r1 while not permitting an update to a |
| 12 |
higher upstream version. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Patch level updates, -r1, -r2 etc, install the same version but with some |
| 15 |
changes, such as security fixes. |
