The package mangler does not know that 1.1-r300 is not a "better" version than 1.1-r200, or that 1.2-r200 is not a "better" version than 1.1-r300. Indicating packages where this kind of strangeness happens allows manglers to know that things that are usually true about the relationship between slots and versions no longer hold, and that in these specific cases it should consider slots to be heavily independent. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/vjKR+BMDBZ2zAetXi=FmsB1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk/mCXAACgkQ96zL6DUtXhF4EQCdGNxiQI3xRfNlwoh0XwjjESGm 4KkAoN8umbN9Ww3Ppmvtz+jTu2ovJhte =ZpX0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/vjKR+BMDBZ2zAetXi=FmsB1--
