NAME

Debian::Version - working with Debian package versions

DESCRIPTION

One day this package may be a class for encapsulating Debian versions with all of their epochs, versions and revisions. For now, though, it only provides a single comparison function.

FUNCTIONS

deb_ver_cmp( $ver1, $ver2 )

Compares the Debian versions and returns a negative value, zero or a positive value if the first version is smaller, equal or bigger than the second.

This function is a short-named wrapper around $AptPkg::Config::_config->system->versioning->compare. The rules for comparing Debian versions are defined in the "Debian Policy Manual".

SEE ALSO
