Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add support for sorting caret ('^') higher than base version (#88)

I can't reopen this, perhaps because the original branch was deleted. Anyway, I'm at least willing to discuss and certainly not directly opposed if somebody wants to open a new PR. Not because Fedora this or that but because I think symmetry makes sense: if we have a way force sorting one way, t

Hey, this was just pointed out to me, and it seems to perfectly provide a solution to a problem. As many might be aware, the Fedora packaging committee has periodically taken up the issue of using tilde Version:. And I've been putting in a load of effort trying to come up with a consistent sch

I mean if we have tilde, there is a need to have operator which is doing opposite -- that is caret ;) -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/pull/88#issuecomment-439148

OK, looks like Fedora is going for a policy that works with the current version compare. If version and release strings are chosen with some care (which they have to be anyway) I do not really see an immediate need for this. Closing for now. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed
