I don't know how pkg-get does it, but for pkgutil we had a public discussion on this list where James came with a suggestion and Dago made a few changes if I remember correctly. I implemented it and I have described it here in four rules: http://pkgutil.wikidot.com/get-install-and-configure#toc7 (version compare method). The standard also hints about the REV-field becoming the standard way of comparison for pkg-get, I assume it was written by Phil. http://www.opencsw.org/standards/build#versioning "Please note: the ",REV=YYYY.MM.DD" is now Mandatory. It provides a fixed-format way of telling how recent the package really is, for version comparison download purposes. At some point, it will be the primary comparison key for pkg-get.(but not yet)" -- /peter _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
