We need some version type independent way to create ranges that correspond to various compatibility strategies. Example: You have an OSGi version "1.2.3.abc" and you want to create ranges that includes versions that are related. Today, we have the well known "perfect, equivalent, compatible, greaterOrEqual" rules for this. Perfect: "[1.2.3.abc,1.2.3.abc]" Equivalent: "[1.2.0,1.3.0)" Compatible: "[1.0.0,2.0.0)" GreaterOrEqual: "1.2.3.abc" In addition to those we might want to consider: Unqualified: "[1.2.3,1.2.4)" Another very useful range is a combination where the lower bound is equivalent and the upper bound is compatible, i.e. "[1.2.0,2.0.0)". Not sure what to call that. Suggestions welcome. So first task is to identify the set of ranges that are needed. The second task is how to describe this in a version type independent way so that the given semantics can work for different types of versions.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
