Version X is considered newer than Y incorrectly
Hi,
in my dependencies i'm using bonecp in version 0.8.0.RELEASE
val boneCp = "com.jolbox" % "bonecp" % "0.8.0.RELEASE"
also im using sbt-updates 0.1.3 with sbt 0.13.1
when call dependencyUpdates i'm getting:
[info] com.jolbox:bonecp : 0.8.0.RELEASE -> 0.8.0-rc3
but version 0.8.0-rc3 is older than 0.8.0.RELEASE
(http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.jolbox/bonecp, https://github.com/wwadge/bonecp/releases)
it's correct behavior?
It is quite difficult to say if one version is older or newer than another just from the version text. I will investigate if maven metadata order gives better results.
ok, it's not so important but better fix someday
maybe there is timestamp or date field to check
One more example from #30:
[info] org.apache.poi:poi : 3.10-FINAL -> 3.10-beta2
[info] org.apache.poi:poi-ooxml : 3.10-FINAL -> 3.10-beta2
Could you just lop /(?i)[-.](?:final|release)$/ off of the version string or something? (If this is a stupid suggestion I apologize; I haven't looked at how your plugin works internally).
And from #33
[info] org.webjars:requirejs : 2.1.14-1 -> 2.1.14
[info] org.webjars:underscorejs : 1.6.0-3 -> 1.6.0
From #31:
[info] asm:asm : 3.3.1 -> 20070324
[info] asm:asm-util : 3.3.1 -> 20041228.180559
Another case (should this be another ticket?):
[info] org.webjars:webjars-play : 2.4.0-1 -> 2.4.0 -> 2.5.0
It thinks that 2.4.0-1 is older than 2.4.0, when in reality it's a hotfix version.
Just wanted to add - I think you can specify something like latest.release (see http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.5.0-rc1/ivyfile/dependency.html ). In general probably a bad practice to blindly use the latest version but just throwing it out there.
