Created attachment 278745 [details, diff] Patch for versionator.eclass Currently, versionator.eclass has a few flaws in it's behavior when comparing version strings. For example, it only supports one _alpha/_beta/_rc/_pre/_p/-r suffix, and it treats versions like "1.010" and "1.2.0" incorrectly (when comparing to "1.1" (should be *less*, versionator says *greater*) and "1.2" (should be *greater*, versionator says *equal*), respectively). Attached is a patch that fixes the logic to match PMS, as well as fixing a couple test cases and adding a bunch more, pulled from portage's and paludis's testsuites.
base-system took over versionator.eclass once ciaranm left as it was the only logical group for it. this is clearly reflected in the commit history. if you're comfortable with hacking on it, then i'd say feel free to commit to it
I committed this a while ago.
