Hi there, I'm looking through the pkgtools code to determine how the version comparison logic works, and I came across this block of code at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackageName.pm:385:
sub from_string { my ($class, $string) = @_; my $o = bless { deweys => [ split(/\./o, $string) ], suffix => '', suffix_value => 0}, $class; if ($o->{deweys}->[-1] =~ m/^(\d+)(rc|alpha|beta|pre|pl)(\d*)$/) { $o->{deweys}->[-1] = $1; $o->{suffix} = $2; $o->{suffix_value} = $3; } return $o; } >From what I understand, this is looking for one of OpenBSD "special" suffixes >for a given version part of a package version. This code seems to only match >cases where the "special" portion (rc, alpha, beta etc) of the version sits >between a required decimal on the left and an optional decimal on the right. >Looking through the current package listing, I found this one: clementine-1.4.0rc1p0.tgz Given the above regex, the rc1 portion of the package name will not be pulled into the suffix, and I believe that (given a comparison where the 1.4.0 portion of the version doesn't change) a future version comparison with this package version will potentially be done alphabetically? Is this intentional? Or perhaps I'm missing something here or elsewhere with this code. Thank you, Jeremy
