Ok, but try to stick to a well-defined rule about what suffix means "later" or "earlier". In package managers, "1.2.3-rc1" is typically seen as a later version than "1.2.3" purely due to syntax. If you're consistently meaning "0.11.0-rc1" is earlier than "0.11.0" (final), that might need to be encoded in libvirt and other wrappers, if they have any fine-grained version sensistivity such as command line changes or bug workarounds. The Linux kernel was guilty of mixing up later and earlier version suffixes like this. With Linux this is a bit more important because it changes a lot between versions, so some apps do need fine-grained version checks to workaround bugs or avoid buggy features. Maybe that won't even happen with QEMU and libvirt working together. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
