Re: [wpkg-users] revision number problem
Mandi! Rainer Meier In chel di` si favelave... This is true as well and has been introduced quite recently by a heavy improvement of the version comparison algorithm. A little, probably unrelated question. There's a separator defined for 'internal subrevision'? EG, for now i use, for firefox: 30141 for 3.0.14 internal revision 1; i use internal revision because i'm human and male, so i make mistakes ;), and when i do that, i can fix the packege augmenting only the internal revision. Can i write now as: 3.0.14:1 or whatever separator i like, : , ; , -, |, ... different from dot to mark them explicitly as 'internal revision'? Thanks. -- dott.

Well as far as I remember the algorithm everything which is not a number can be used as a separator (words, characters, punctuation marks) So yes, a version number of 3.0.14:1 would be allowed I think the evaluation would be as follows: 3.0.14 - 3.0.14:1 is newer 3.0.14:1 - 3.0.14:2 is newer 3.0.14:1 - 3.0.15 is newer 3.0.14:1 - 3.0.15:1 is newer However this punctuation is very uncommon (I've never seen that before). I suggest you to just add another period mark: 3.0.14.1 What I've seen some times is a release marker: 3.0.14r1 which shouold be supported by the algorithm: 3.0.14r1 is newer than 3.0.14 3.0.14r2 is newer than 3.0.14r1 3.0.15 is newer than 3.0.14r50 But I would prefer the simple punctuated notation above: 3.0.14.# If in doubt which result the version comparison evaluation yields just open the debug log file and look for Comparing version: 'x' = 'y'. entries. br, Rainer - wpkg-users mailing list archives http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ ___ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users

I I will use ':' just for it's 'strangness': well suited to mark and 'internal' subrevision number... Many thanks. -- dott.

I thought that the revision setting was supposed to be based on 'different' and not on 'greater'. I have revised a few packages were I have used smaller numbers for the revision but I haven't checked whether they have updated. Do I presume now that they haven't? Please advise.

But as this isn't really a downgrade, I'd recommend to use the real version numbers as revisions. Sth. like 3.5.1.1 = 3.5.3 will be correctly interpreted as an upgrade while 3511 = 353 will not.
