# Debian Version (Ruby)
[](https://github.com/captn3m0/ruby-deb-version/blob/main/LICENSE.txt) [](https://rubygems.org/gems/deb_version) [](https://github.com/captn3m0/ruby-deb-version/actions/workflows/main.yml?query=branch%3Amain)  [](https://github.com/captn3m0/ruby-deb-version/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen)
A port of "Debian Version" comparison function to Ruby. This is based on
[Debian Policy Manual v4.6.20, Section 5.6.12](https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#version).
It adapts some of the code and tests from https://github.com/FauxFaux/deb-version and https://github.com/xolox/python-deb-pkg-tools
## Installation
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add deb_version
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install deb_version
## Usage
```ruby
require 'deb_version'
v1 = DebVersion.new("1.3~rc2")
v2 = DebVersion.new("1.3")
v1 < v2 # true
```
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
Run `bundle exec rake rubocop` to check for style violations.
Run `bundle exec rake test` to run tests.
See [HACKING.md](HACKING.md) for further details.
