You would use this instead: foo_2.1.110-pre2-2 and get the right sorting behavior, specifically foo_2.1.110-pre2-2 < foo_2.1.110 All that said, I think "-" has problems. As Jason mentioned, we may not want to have: 1.1 < 1.1-1 and, as Adrian pointed out, I agree that it is somewhat hard to parse visually. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
