# The functions in this Perl module are versort and deb_versort.  They
# each take as input an array of elements of the form [version, data, ...]
# and sort them into decreasing order according to dpkg's
# understanding of version sorting.  The output is a sorted array.  In
# versort, "version" is assumed to be an upstream version number only,
# whereas in deb_versort, "version" is assumed to be a Debian version
# number, possibly including an epoch and/or a Debian revision.
# 
# The returned array has the greatest version as the 0th array element.

# This was the old version.  It didn't handle ~, incidentally

# The sorting order of upstream version numbers is described in
# chapter 4 of the Debian Policy Manual:
#
#   The strings are compared from left to right.
#
#   First the initial part of each string consisting entirely of non-digit
#   characters is determined. These two parts (one of which may be empty)
#   are compared lexically. If a difference is found it is returned. The
#   lexical comparison is a comparison of ASCII values modified so that
#   all the letters sort earlier than all the non-letters.
#
#   Then the initial part of the remainder of each string which consists
#   entirely of digit characters is determined. The numerical values of
#   these two parts are compared, and any difference found is returned as
#   the result of the comparison. For these purposes an empty string
#   (which can only occur at the end of one or both version strings being
#   compared) counts as zero.
#
#   These two steps are repeated (chopping initial non-digit strings and
#   initial digit strings off from the start) until a difference is found
#   or both strings are exhausted.
#
# The program works like this.  In order that letters (defined by the
# isalpha() function) sort before non-letters, we initially modify all
# the strings as follows: every letter x is replaced by ax, every
# non-alphanumeric x is replaced by bx, and digits are left
# untouched.  In this way, the letters will all sort before
# non-letters in alphabetical sorting.  At the end, we simply undo the
# changes.  We use "no locale" since the dpkg program clears the locale
# before comparing things (or at least it should do), so we should do
# the same in order to match it.  We must also use [A-Za-z] rather than
# \w to distinguish between letters and digits.
#
# We read all of the strings into an array.  We then split each string
# by blocks of digits, and sort this array of arrays.  In this way, we
# need only perform the splitting etc. once.  We also note that some
# of our strings might end in a digit, in which case the split array
# would not have the null non-digit string at the end.  We make our
# lives easier by insisting that they do.  Thus we will always have an
# array of the form ("\D*","\d+","\D+","\d+",...,"\d+","\D*"), that
# is, it has odd length, always ending with a non-digit string.
