Package: backintime-common
Version: 1.3.3-4
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/backintime
Hello,
I am not sure but it seems the WATCH is not able to correct sorting "v1.5.3"
and "v1.5.3-rc1".
It still show "v1.5.3-rc1" as the latest version available.
But the latest version available is "v1.5.3".
That is the current regex in the WATCH file.
.*/v?(\d.*)@ARCHIVE_EXT@
Should it be something like this (with extra $)?
.*/v?(\d.*)$@ARCHIVE_EXT@
or better
.*/v?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)$@ARCHIVE_EXT@
So the quick n dirty solution is just to ignore "rc", "dev" or any other
version-suffix.
A more general problem is that the WATCH file system seems not to be able to
sort versions the correct way.
Version "v1.5.3" is higher than "v1.5.3-rc1".
Thanks
Christian
