<pmichaud> I'm pretty sure Perl 6 defines a Version type  :-)
<pmichaud> m:   say v6.0.0.WHAT
<camelia> rakudo-moar d3a284: OUTPUT«(Version)␤»
<pmichaud> maybe we should use it.  :)
<lizmat> ok, how do we *compare* the version in blead sensibly ?
<FROGGS> lizmat: you can compare versions, on?
<pmichaud> m:  say v6.0.0 after v5.9.9
<camelia> rakudo-moar d3a284: OUTPUT«True␤»
<lizmat> m: say $*VM.version
<camelia> rakudo-moar d3a284: OUTPUT«v2014.9.14.g.0.df.2.d.6.f␤»
<FROGGS> m: say $*VM.version cmp v2014.10

<FROGGS> ?
<lizmat> yuck?
<pmichaud> m: say $*VM.version.WHAT
<camelia> rakudo-moar d3a284: OUTPUT«(Version)␤»
<FROGGS> m: say $*VM.version cmp Version.new('2014.10')
<camelia> rakudo-moar d3a284: OUTPUT«Less␤»

<FROGGS> that's weird
<pmichaud> feels like a rakudobug
* masak submits rakuodbug
<lizmat> that's looks like a parsing issue
<FROGGS> m: say v1.2
<camelia> rakudo-moar d3a284: OUTPUT«v1.2␤»
<FROGGS> m: say v10.2

<FROGGS> only one digit allowed??
<FROGGS>  /o\ we are doomed
<FROGGS> std has 'v' <?before \d> :: <vnum> +% '.' '+'?, and we miss the ::
