Then you could do:
>=dev-db/mysql-4.2
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
upstream version number" differently from the Gentoo "interim release
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
possible gentoo interim releases", as follows:
Masking
>dev-db/mysql-4.1.20+
should allow mysql-4.1.20-r1 but not mysql-4.1.21
Take a look at the "~" operator...
