I think version numbers with trailing zeroes suck for this exact reason. Just fix the prerequisite list, and get on with life. /Lars On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 5:29 PM, David Golden <x...@xdg.me> wrote: > On Fri, Jan 4, 2013 at 8:28 AM, Gabor Szabo <ga...@szabgab.com> wrote: >> I am not sure what does that mean.
