# apt-compare-versions: Simple script which takes two arguments and compares
|
|
# their version according to apt rules. This can be used to verify the ordering
|
|
# between two versions.
|
|
#
|
|
# Note that ~ (tilde) construct, which allows for beta and preview releases.
|
|
# A version with ~ is considered earlier than one without, so 1.6~beta1 is
|
|
# considered earlier than 1.6. If both versions contains ~ the version comparison
|
|
# is made first on the part preceding the tilde, then the part coming after,
|
|
# so 1.6~beta1 comes before 1.6~beta2.
