[pkg-php-pear] Bug#762518: PEAR: [Regression] Preversion are not “translated” anymore

[David Prévot]

Package: pkg-php-tools
Version: 1.21
Severity: normal

Hi,

Among php-log dependencies, php-mdb2 (see package.xml extract bellow)
version used to be translated to 2.0.0~rc1, respecting Debian syntax,
but with the current version of pkg-php-tools, that’s not true anymore.

   <package>
    <name>MDB2</name>
    <channel>pear.php.net</channel>
    <min>2.0.0RC1</min>
   </package>

According to Guillaume, the thing to fix should be in the following
file:
	/usr/share/php/pkgtools/base/dependency.php

Regards

David

P.-S.: I’m currently using the following trick in d/watch to DTRT, and
it seems to work well in most cases. Maybe will such advice could have
its place in our documentation, or maybe some people have better advices
to share.
