Description Gordon Pettey 2013-06-21 20:35:59 UTC

3.2 Version Specifications
"A version ... is ...  [0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)* (a positive integer followed by zero or more dot-prefixed positive integers)."

Zero is not positive (or negative). This should say 'non-negative' instead of 'postive'.

Maybe we should rewrite it as "a digit string followed by zero or more dot-prefixed digit strings" because version components are not always interpreted as integers (e.g., 1.02 is less than 1.1).

Perhaps "e.g. 1.10 is greater than 1.1" would make more sense :)

This has been fixed some time ago with bug 635340.

Closing (with the dupe being the wrong way around, but the other bug has more information).
