It's fine for you to think of EAPI 4 as being newer than EAPI 3. It's not fine for you to consider EAPI 4 to be a superset of EAPI 3, and it's not fine to try using comparisons other than string equality (with the annoying special case for "" being "0") on an EAPI value. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/2A8Ol8M=gf14kKJAfxczGwQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlBDn8YACgkQ96zL6DUtXhHdfwCfbX48AzBJt3Ccgcmo6OWRtV5e GuEAn2r73tZB8/4RaH4eeU0MyNoVk9Ir =GwpX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/2A8Ol8M=gf14kKJAfxczGwQ--
