The version tags "ver" and "rel" attributes may also be non-numerical. Why not "epoch", too?
I haven't looked into the sources, but IIRC, inside of rpm, while rel, ver etc. are strings, epoch is an integer.
AFAIR, there are APIs which return the epoch as a *int, which may be NULL or a valid pointer. I.e. callers will have to special case accessing these pointers.
Seems to me as if something doesn't get this right. (FWIW: All this was an FAQ > 10 years ago :) ) Ralf -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
