Bug#269493: qa.debian.org: version comparison also fails with extra dashes
Package: qa.debian.org
Followup-For: Bug #269493
The current version comparison for the watch code also fails when the
upstream version contains a dash because it terminates the Debian version
at the first dash. See:
<http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/maintainer.php?name=libauthen-sasl-cyrus-perl>
<http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=rra@stanford.edu>
I think the best way to modify the code to deal with this issue would be
to have it strip off everything after the final dash first and then
continue on comparing the entire remaining version number. Right now, it
grabs everything before the first dash, which doesn't work for this case.
