Especially in bleading edge Fedora land. And this is where this version scheme fails with rpm because X.00 > T.01 > C.02 - Fedora has guidelines on including such non-numeric information in the release field. These guidelines are probably the reason there is not a single package with non-numeric version in the repository. - All the other major distributions have stripped this field when packaging lshw. > (In reply to comment #25) > > (In reply to comment #23) > > > Just one thing: the version is B.02.11, not 2.11.
