Re: [Chicken-hackers] required-extension-version (possible version-numbers> issue)

[Ivan Raikov]

Hi Mario,

   How do you propose this is handled? The situation below occurs
because 501 > 6 (obviously), so chicken-setup thinks that 1.501 is
newer than 1.6.x. My solution would be to remove releases and
prerequisites of the form x.xxx because such a versioning scheme is
idiotic. But I am open to reasonable suggestions.
