But without the hyphen it would work for the expected cases, although probably not be packaging guidelines "compliant": $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0-1 4.0p16-1 0:4.0p16-1 is newer $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0p17-1 4.0p16-1 0:4.0p17-1 is newer $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0p17-1 4.0.1-1 0:4.0.1-1 is newer $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0p17-1 4.01-1 0:4.01-1 is newer Cases like 4.0a that should be treated as newer than 4.0p* would require either use of Epochs or doing something strange like inventing zeros: $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0p17-1 4.0a-1 0:4.0p17-1 is newer $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0p17-1 4.0.0a-1 0:4.0.0a-1 is newer $ rpmdev-vercmp 4.0p17-1 4.0.0-1.a 0:4.0.0-1.a is newer -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
