Hi!
Are you telling me that isn't correct?
Think like a computer here. Is 1901 > 23? Sure sounds like it to me. Version number schema changes like this are the packages deal, not pacman's.
I was more thinking of floats here. 3.1901 < 3.23
Well we can think of this however we want, and there will be a package that breaks it. In your case, Udev. is udev 99 < udev 100? It isn't getting fixed, because frankly there is no 'right' way to fix it. What should have happened is 3.1901 -> 3.19.01, instead of confusing floating point version numbers. Proof that version numbering is not always floating can be found with CVS as well- it will increment straight from 1.99 to 1.100 without a problem. -Dan
