It would be better to use ">~pkg-category/package-0.0.1". this allows patch level updates, such as 0.0.1-r1 while not permitting an update to a higher upstream version. Patch level updates, -r1, -r2 etc, install the same version but with some changes, such as security fixes. -- Neil Bothwick "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
