vercmp - version comparison utility
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
'vercmp' [-h] [--help] <version1> <version2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
'vercmp' is used to determine the relationship between two given version
|
|
numbers. It outputs values as follows:
|
|
|
|
* < 0 : if ver1 < ver2
|
|
* = 0 : if ver1 == ver2
|
|
* > 0 : if ver1 > ver2
|
|
|
|
Version comparison operates as follows:
|
|
|
|
Alphanumeric:
|
|
1.0a < 1.0b < 1.0beta < 1.0p < 1.0pre < 1.0rc < 1.0 < 1.0.a < 1.0.1
|
|
Numeric:
|
|
1 < 1.0 < 1.1 < 1.1.1 < 1.2 < 2.0 < 3.0.0
|
|
|
|
Additionally, version strings can have an 'epoch' value defined that will
|
|
overrule any version comparison, unless the epoch values are equal. This is
|
|
specified in an `epoch:version-rel` format. For example, `2:1.0-1` is always
|
|
greater than `1:3.6-1`.
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that the 'pkgrel' is only compared if it is available on both
|
|
versions given to this tool. For example, comparing `1.5-1` and `1.5` will
|
|
yield 0; comparing `1.5-1` and `1.5-2` will yield < 0 as expected. This is
|
|
mainly for supporting versioned dependencies that do not include the 'pkgrel'.
