Hi!
This is something that annoys me for quite a while. But it was clear to me
that it was not fixable in ther past. So now is time to speak up:
What about normalizing the PRCO data to a sane format. There is a wild
mixture of integers, comparator signs, two letter abbreviations and None
objects used as flags and a continuous conversion between version strings
and version tuples.
Even worse is that most functions work only with a part of the combinations
and the data formats have to be converted at random points within the source
code.
I don't have a complete battle plan yet but encapsulating the two letter
flags into the sqlitedb and may be kill the None flags sounds like a good
first step to me. We could also make .get(Proides|Requires|...) accept
string versions. But it might also be worth converting every version to a
tuple right at the beginning.
Comments? Opinions? Patches?
Florian
