The magic string ``alpha'' equates to alpha version and sorts before a beta version. The magic string ``beta'' equates to beta version and sorts before a release candidate. The magic string ``rc'' equates to release candidate and sorts before a release. The magic string ``pre'', short for ``pre-release'', is a synonym for ``rc''. For example, name-1.3rc3 will sort before name-1.3 and after name-1.2.9. Similarly name-1.3alpha2 will sort before name-1.3beta1 and they both sort before name-1.3rc1. In addition, alphabetic characters sort in the same place as their numeric counterparts, so that name-1.2e has the same sorting value as name-1.2.5 The magic string ``pl'' equates to a patch level and has the same value as a dot in the dewey-decimal ordering schemes. regards, -- -- Lubomir Sedlacik <salo@{NetBSD,Xtrmntr,silcnet}.org> --
