Please specify Matrix version with equal separation signs

[tillea]

Hi, I'm aware that in R the signs '.' and '-' are sorting equally in version numbers. This is not true for Debian package versions und thus for the latest Debian package I needed the following patch:

-Imports: dplyr, magrittr, MASS, Matrix (>= 1.5.0), methods,
+Imports: dplyr, magrittr, MASS, Matrix (>= 1.5-0), methods,

for the version of Matrix. It would be extremely helpful if you would simply keep the same spelling for version numbers as the authors of a package have decided for. Kind regards, Andreas.

Hi, unfortunately in version 0.4.0 the issue persists. I can patch it again inside the Debian package, but it would be great if you could commit a fix to Git to close this issue. Thanks a lot, Andreas.

Apologies that I missed this in the latest release. For now I would recommend patching it at your end and will incorporate the fix in the next release.

I've done so, yes. I'd simply recommend you push a fix to Git and close this issue to make sure it gets fixed next time. ;-) Kind regards, Andreas.
