If the repository has [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and
[email protected], I think I'd like to have
pkg install [email protected]
give me [email protected]. If I really want [email protected] in this case, I'd like to
specify more information, possibly including the timestamp.
I'm not certain.
That seems like "fuzzy matching" on a version component, and lacks clear
intent on the part of the user.
If it did as you suggested above, the user would then never have a way
to install *1.0* specifically of the package without fully specifying
the next version component. It would also seem inconsistent since
[email protected],5.11-0.101 could then logically install either build 101 or
build 1010 of a package :)
pkg install [email protected]* or [email protected].* would more clearly express the intent
of the user.
