So: foo-1.0-2.fc13 is newer than: foo-1.0-2.fc12 but foo-1.0-3.fc3 is newer than either, and foo-1.1-1.fc1 is newer than all of the above. That's exactly how it's intended to be. The correct fix is not to try and give extra importance to the distro version tag (this is discussed every few months, and each discussion explains why it's a bad idea), but to stop maintainers getting into this mess in the first place, which may require better education or better policies or possibly both. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
