FYI, a reminder about a "past" issue, that came to my attention again:
In the past, I only allowed "pure numeric" versioning for packages. The Spec was softwarename-##.##.##,REV=anythinghere. a year or so ago, people pushed to drop the pure numeric constraint. No-one else wanted to keep the pure numeric restrictions. So we now have alphas to the left of REV, where only #.#.# used to be. However, when and if we transition to integrating with "IPS", it should be mentioned: **they only allow pure numerics for versioning** The archive thread at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opensolaris.pkg.general/24163 somehow hasnt seem to have caught up with the latest, but here's a quote from a later email from Danek Duvall, on the 17th Dec: "I think it gets harder when you don't have a tuple of integers. For instance, OpenSSL uses letters in their normal versions -- 0.9.8j, for instance, which we translated to 0.9.8.10.
