+ Version Matching
+
This module takes a matching string and a type and locates the version
record that satisfies the constraint described by the matching string.
Version: 1.2*
Release: o=Debian,v=2.1*,c=main
Release: v=2.1*
+ Release: a=testing
+ Release: n=squeeze
Release: *
Origin: ftp.debian.org
-
+
Release may be a complex type that can specify matches for any of:
Version (v= with prefix)
Origin (o=)
- Archive (a=)
+ Archive (a=) eg, unstable, testing, stable
+ Codename (n=) e.g. etch, lenny, squeeze, sid
Label (l=)
Component (c=)
If there are no equals signs in the string then it is scanned in short
- form - if it starts with a number it is Version otherwise it is an
- Archive.
-
+ form - if it starts with a number it is Version otherwise it is an
+ Archive or a Codename.
+
Release may be a '*' to match all releases.
