+1 for the idea, but: I think format should be python2_7, a simple replace('_', '.') produces the correct version string. If need be it can be extended to minor versions 2_7_3 to get 2.7.3 For ruby19, split in the middle to get 1.9, but what about 110, is it 11.0 or 1.10. For php5-3, what happens if a future package has a digit as part of it's name which is allowed and are in the tree. It looks too much like php5 dash version 3 -- Brian Dolbec <dol...@gentoo.org>
