Hi Ian. The GNU gnulib project is considering adding a function
that would compare strings in the same way that dpkg compares
version numbers, as you can see in the thread here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/14693
Is there a chance that you would be willing to contribute to the
FSF the actual code from dpkg for this? (Otherwise, we will
probably have one person write a formal specification for the
version comparison algorithm, and then another person implement
something equivalent from that specification.)
Thanks,
Ben.
