I'm not certain.
That seems like "fuzzy matching" on a version component, and lacks clear
intent on the part of the user.
Perhaps, but it does match the way dependencies work. It makes a lot of
sense to me -- "install a 1.0 product, but if it's been patched up to ..4,
then install that". Like "pkg install [email protected]" gives you [email protected].
Why not? We've talked about version syntax that would force an exact
match, but in this case, it could simply be a flag to pkg install.
That would be fine too. Perhaps the exact match case is to start with
pkg:/ instead of adding a flag?
