Hello all,
Below, you'll find a patch against the current SVN head to fix a couple of bugs
in the version comparison code for dpkg. As a brief explanation: (1) the old
code did not handle epochs that were greater than a single digit, and (2) it
did not compare alpha() portions of the version string correctly, most notably
portions that included ~'s and other punctuation.
You'll notice that the solution is almost a mirror image of the official code
in dpkg. I looked at it and couldn't think of any better way than that to do
the comparison. I added the copyright information at the top to make it official.
So it correctly compares versions now and probably more importantly to some:
text data bss dec hex filename
688420 2168 9388 699976 aae48 busybox.orig/busybox
688273 2168 9388 699829 aadb5 busybox.new/busybox
Enjoy, and let me know if there is anything I missed or need to do a bit
differently.
Patch appears to be corrupted:
