I favor something like this because it would be nice to have prerelease
versions of ASDF that perform version checks properly.
What I mean is, if we are going to add a feature in version 3.4, right now that
would be in a prerelease version with a version number of something like
3.3.5.22
It would be a lot better for realistic testing if we could instead use
3.4.0-alpha1 or 3.4.0-1 and have ASDF know that 3.4.0-1 comes before 3.4.0, not
after.
Hi Robert, hi everyone. I haven't been following closely, but while
you are working out details, let me just mention that I recommend
against version numbers that require special interpretation to
discover their ordering, e.g. 3.4.0-1 < 3.4.0.
Mostly I'm just thinking that somebody's not going to get the memo
(it's usually me).
Yeah, I find that one odd as well.
