<div>it wouldn`t be a problem if you could say things like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1.2b3 > 1.2b4 and that just the changing number is compared to see if a higher one is avalible.</div>
<div>so in this case that woud be this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3 > 4</div>
<div> </div>
<div>perhaps that`s possible with regular expressions..??? but than again you can`t check in mysql to see if the version (with a "b" in it) is greather or less than a existing version.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i will do my best to get this working ^_^ i would love to have the fastest dependency checker in the world that`s realy working.. even without the strange logic of version numbers.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>to be clear:</div>
<div>1.01</div>
<div>1.10</div>
<div>1.1</div>
<div>== smaler than:</div>
<div>1.20</div>
<div> </div>
<div>that`s how my dep checker will work.</div>
<div>and anyone that would be willing write this script in c++ with me?</div>
