| Subject: | Version numbers apt to confuse other parties |
People often are taken by surprise when working with version numbers:
% perl -e '
use version;
printf "%s is %ser than %s\n",
$ARGV[0],
version->new($ARGV[0]) > version->new($ARGV[1]) ? "high" : "low",
$ARGV[1]' 2.1 2.2.0.1
2.1 is higher than 2.2.0.1
David Golden wrote a manifest with the title version numbers should be boring. http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring/ It's really worth a read.
In the case of Monitoring-GLPlugin the normal indexing seems to be interrupted. The latest indexed version is 2.1.
Thank you,
