6 There's a point to everything. You need to use whatever suits what you
7 want to do.
8
9 ~: This version and all revision bumps of it.
10 =: This version.
11 >: Higher than this version.
12 <: Lower than this version.
13 >=: This and higher versions.
14 <=: This and lower versions.
15
16 Note that "revision bumps" are not higher versions. For example:
17
18 ~some-category/foo-3.0.10
19
20 will match foo-3.0.10, foo-3.0.10-r1, foo-3.0.10-r2 and all "-rN"
21 versions of it, but will *not* match foo-3.0.11 nor 3.0.9. Just 3.0.10
22 and all revisions of it.
