it wouldn`t be a problem if you could say things like this:
1.2b3 > 1.2b4 and that just the changing number is compared to see if a higher one is avalible.
so in this case that woud be this:
3 > 4
perhaps that`s possible with regular expressions..??? but than again you can`t check in mysql to see if the version (with a "b" in it) is greather or less than a existing version.
i will do my best to get this working ^_^ i would love to have the fastest dependency checker in the world that`s realy working.. even without the strange logic of version numbers.
to be clear:
1.01
1.10
1.1
== smaler than:
1.20
that`s how my dep checker will work.
and anyone that would be willing write this script in c++ with me?

RPM versionning rules have to match versionning rules used by the packaged
projects in real life. Users want to match package versions to the
versions advertised on upstream web sites.
Since what software writers consider sane versionning is only slightly
more predictable than winning loto numbers, rpm internal rules border on
the complex.
In other news the software industry was still US-centric, and americans
still pondering the benefits of going metric.
