while packaging gmerlin-avdecoder i noticed a slight problem with the
build-depends:
it used to be libgmerlin-dev (>= 1.0.0)
but since gmerlin has to be repackaged (to be dfsg compliant), the
actually installed version is 1.0.0~dfsg-1
now i don't understand, why >=1.0.0 is not satisfied with
1.0.0~dfsg-1
everything works fine, if i build-depend on (>= 1.0.0~dfsg)
am i missing something?
and if gmerlin makes a bugfix release that gets rid of the dfsg
problems, so we will be able to create libgmerlin-dev_1.0.1-1, will
(>=1.0.0~dfsg) be satisfied?
The special char ~ means "just below" in Debian-version-speak.
So it makes good sens that a dependency on >=1.0.0 is not satisfied by
=1.0.0~anything-at-all, and that is "just below" 1.0.0.
Hope that helps.
I think you could Build-Dep on (>= 1.0.0~) just to be safe. That'd be
the lowest version of 1.0.0 with a tilde version as far as I
understand it.
