NAME
AptPkg::Version - APT package versioning class
SYNOPSIS
use AptPkg::Version;
DESCRIPTION
The AptPkg::Version module provides an interface to APT's package
version handling.
AptPkg::Version
The AptPkg::Version package implements the APT pkgVersioningSystem
class.
An instance of the AptPkg::Version class may be fetched using the
"versioning" method from an AptPkg::System object.
The following methods are implemented:
label
Return the description of the versioning system, for example:
Standard .deb
for Debian systems.
compare(A, B)
Compare package version A with B, returning a negative value if A
is an earlier version than B, zero if the same or a positive value
if A is later.
rel_compare(A, B)
Compare distribution release numbers.
check_dep(PKG, OP, DEP)
Check that the package version PKG satisfies the relation OP to the
dependency version DEP.
The relation OP is specified in the Debian syntax regardless of the
versioning system:
<< strictly earlier
<= earlier or equal
= exactly equal
>= later or equal
>> strictly later
upstream(VER)
Return the upstream component of the given version string.
