[ptxdist] ptxdist-2011.01.0 bug in make ipkg-push

["Benoît BURNICHON" <Benoit.BURNICHON@airtag.com>]

Hello All,

I know that this is an old release of ptxdist but for now, I cannot upgrade to the latest version.

I have my BSP set-up, I modified something in the ncurses config which changed libncurses.so.5.6.
But, when running ipkg-push, I end up with something like:

----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<----

As you can see, the latest version is not correctly guessed. This happens each time a version is composed of 2 digits only.
I have also seen that there is an issue if the version is not matching the '\d+\.\d+\.\d+' regulator expression.

Jon Ringle already proposed to replace the incriminated ptxd_ipkg_rev_smaller by dpkg --compare-versions, but as ptxdist tries to be distribution independent, patch was not accepted.

There was no answer to the solution of the script given in the following thread: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/dkms-devel/2004-July/000142.html

Of course, I can apply this script in lieu of ptxd_ipkg_rev_smaller but I prefer to stick to ptxdist releases.

Cheers,

Ben
