I am aware of the external versions, but since I can't put them in a
require spec to identify the package I want, they aren't terribly
useful as an identifying feature of a package.

Thanks for clarifying. And I'm sure you must know about it and I'm a

I am saying we should use something that is not called "version
number". On the IRC list I have suggested -- without too much thought
behind it yet -- that we construct an "upgrade graph"; package
maintainers can specify which package can be thought of as an
automatic improvement on another, and s
Carl: your message is unclear to me. Are you saying that attempting to
solve the problem of matching up require requests with available
versions of software packages is hopeless and we shouldn't attempt it,
or are you saying that we should use something that is not (literally)
called "version numbe
Do you mean to inherit Planet's current "version number" semantics?
Uh. Assigning a fixed structure and semantics to version
numbers was one of the worst things Planet did. Dracula is up to
8:18, and goodness knows what that means. It does not mean there have
been 8 significantly differe
Good point
