Debian Version (Ruby)

A port of "Debian Version" comparison function to Ruby. This is based on Debian Policy Manual v4.6.20, Section 5.6.12.

It adapts some of the code and tests from https://github.com/FauxFaux/deb-version and https://github.com/xolox/python-deb-pkg-tools

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add deb_version

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install deb_version

require 'deb_version'
v1 = DebVersion.new("1.3~rc2")
v2 = DebVersion.new("1.3")
v1 < v2 # true

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

Run bundle exec rake rubocop to check for style violations.

Run bundle exec rake test to run tests.
