usually a project uses the alpha/beta _or_ the rc/pre schema, not both. but yes, this is just one more example about _if_ we want to make the current (read: before the recent changes) better, then the package manager needs to know about these releases. > Currently, there is no special handling so it seems we just have an > alphabetical order, that is : > 1.0 < 1.0a < 1.0alpha < 1.0b < 1.0beta < 1.0p < 1.0pre < 1.0rc > > I am not sure how it was before though, maybe the only difference was > that 1.0 was last instead of first? it was how i described in my previous mail, so: 1.0rc < 1.0 -> good 1.0pre < 1.0 -> good 1.0alpha < 1.0 -> good 1.0beta < 1.0 -> good 1.0a < 1.0 -> bad 1.0b < 1.0 -> bad 1.0b (if 'a' stands for alpha) < 1.0 -> good 1.0b (if 'b' stands for beta) < 1.0 -> good so it was 6 good vs 2 bad while now it's 6 bad vs 2 good, if i haven't miscounted something.
