Description Gordon Bos 2020-12-22 22:15:23 UTC
Gentoo official portage tree lists version 1.10.0 for dev-perl/Audio-Scan, however the last version marked release is in fact 1.01. Please correct, as this incorrect versioning causes this package to be elected over the hotfix release 1.02 (the current 9999) that is wanted by Logitech Media Server 8.0.

Reproducible: Always

No, that's just the Gentoo Perl Versioning scheme. Its complicated.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Perl/Version-Scheme

If you're duct taping together a .ebuild with PV=1.02, *that* is the mistake.

Upstream 1.02 should have PV=1.20.0

Feel free to reopen if this answer doesn't explain the problem.

Wow! That's pretty messed up, but I get it. Not so much complicated but more of a different mindset from how Perl interprets these version numbers.

Thanks.
