I found the current behavior a little confusing at first, but actually, it's alright. Suppose you have a package which depends on provision>=2.0-2 , and let's see what a package needs to provide for satisfying it : * 'provision' -> NO * 'provision 2.0' -> OK * 'provision 2.0-1' -> NO * 'provision 2.0-2' -> OK
So any 2.0-x dep will be satisfied by provision 2.0 .
Now, if the dependency is provision>=2.0 : * 'provision' -> NO * 'provision 2.0' -> OK * 'provision 2.0-1' -> OK * 'provision 2.0-2' -> OK
So the 2.0 dep will be satified by any 2.0-x
OK, there have been many replies, but all I want to say is this- this is *good enough* for me. We are talking niche cases here, we have much bigger problems in the code to solve than what basically boils down to a feature request in a brand new feature. -Dan
