#241: Thorns should be able to specify implementation versions, and other thorns should be able to depend on those --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: knarf | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by Barry Wardell <barry.wardell@…>):
I imagine Debian needs to be generic in the version strings they support because they have no control over the versions strings of most packages. In the case of Cactus, we can set more strict rules on what a version string is which would simplify things quite a lot. The most straightforward would be to enforce that an interface version number is just an integer or maybe a decimal number. Is there a reason to allow more complicated version strings?
