Or, maybe, it is better to make it 0.5300-1, in the case if the author
does it again? What do you think?

hi Matthew!  

thanks for your report!  we need to pull that problematic RPM from the 
repository.

for the time being, however, you don't need to rebuild the RPMs to work around 
this problem; just place the following line in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo 
under the [rpmforge] stanza:

exclude = perl-DateTime-0.4305*

[suggest] problem with perl-DateTime version numbers

2011-03-23 Thread Matthew Vale
I have discovered a problem with the version numbers listed for Perl-DateTime
The latest version in your repo is 0.53-1
Unfortunately yum is unable to install this version because you have in the 
repo 0.4305-1 which is considered higher than the 0.53-1.
This is because the version number is being treated as a rpm version string 
rather than a floating point number so considered greater (4305 > 53)

I have no experience with building rpms so rebuilding the rpms to expand out to 
4 digit version numbers is not really an option for me
