Then you could do: |

|
| 7 |
>=dev-db/mysql-4.2 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
This would allow any mysql-4.1.*, including 4.1.20-r1 and 4.1.99 |

Though you do raise a good point... it would be nice to specify a "real |
| 12 |
upstream version number" differently from the Gentoo "interim release |
| 13 |
number" such as -r2. Can you think of a sane way to do that? |

My suggestion would be to use a '+' character to represent "all |
| 16 |
possible gentoo interim releases", as follows: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Masking |
| 19 |
>dev-db/mysql-4.1.20+ |
| 20 |
should allow mysql-4.1.20-r1 but not mysql-4.1.21 |
