=head1 NAME

Dpkg::Version - handling and comparing dpkg-style version numbers

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Dpkg::Version module provides pure-Perl routines to compare
dpkg-style version numbers (as used in Debian packages) and also
an object oriented interface overriding perl operators
to do the right thing when you compare Dpkg::Version object between
them.

=head1 OBJECT INTERFACE

=over 4

=item my $v = Dpkg::Version->new($version, %opts)

Create a new Dpkg::Version object corresponding to the version indicated in
the string (scalar) $version. By default it will accepts any string
and consider it as a valid version. If you pass the option "check => 1",
it will return undef if the version is invalid (see version_check for
details).

You can always call $v->is_valid() later on to verify that the version is
valid.

sub new {
    my ($this, $ver, %opts) = @_;
    my $class = ref($this) || $this;
    $ver = "$ver" if ref($ver); # Try to stringify objects

    if ($opts{'check'}) {
	return undef unless version_check($ver);
    }

    my $self = {};
    if ($ver =~ /^(\d*):(.+)$/) {
	$self->{'epoch'} = $1;
	$ver = $2;
    } else {
	$self->{'epoch'} = 0;
	$self->{'no_epoch'} = 1;
    }
    if ($ver =~ /(.+)-(.*)$/) {
	$self->{'version'} = $1;
	$self->{'revision'} = $2;
    } else {
	$self->{'version'} = $ver;
	$self->{'revision'} = 0;
	$self->{'no_revision'} = 1;
    }

    return bless $self, $class;
}

=item $v->is_valid()

Returns true if the version is valid, false otherwise.

=cut

sub is_valid {
    my ($self) = @_;
    return scalar version_check($self);

=item $v->epoch(), $v->version(), $v->revision()

Returns the corresponding part of the full version string.

=item $v1 <=> $v2, $v1 < $v2, $v1 <= $v2, $v1 > $v2, $v1 >= $v2

Numerical comparison of various versions numbers. One of the two operands
needs to be a Dpkg::Version, the other one can be anything provided that
its string representation is a version number.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

All the functions are exported by default.

=over 4

=item version_compare($a, $b)

Returns -1 is $a is smaller than $b, 0 if they are equal and 1 if $a
is bigger than $b.

If $a or $b are not valid version numbers, it dies with an error.

=cut

sub version_compare($$) {
    my ($a, $b) = @_;
    my $va = Dpkg::Version->new($a, check => 1) || error(_g("%s is not a valid version"), "$a");
    my $vb = Dpkg::Version->new($b, check => 1) || error(_g("%s is not a valid version"), "$b");
    return $va <=> $vb;
}

=item version_compare_relation($a, $rel, $b)

Returns the result (0 or 1) of the given comparison operation. This
function is implemented on top of version_compare().

Allowed values for $rel are the exported constants REL_GT, REL_GE,
REL_EQ, REL_LE, REL_LT. Use version_normalize_relation() if you
have an input string containing the operator.

=cut

sub version_compare_relation($$$) {
    my ($a, $op, $b) = @_;
    my $res = version_compare($a, $b);

    if ($op eq REL_GT) {
	return $res > 0;
    } elsif ($op eq REL_GE) {
	return $res >= 0;
    } elsif ($op eq REL_EQ) {
	return $res == 0;
    } elsif ($op eq REL_LE) {
	return $res <= 0;
    } elsif ($op eq REL_LT) {
	return $res < 0;
    } else {
	internerr("unsupported relation for version_compare_relation(): '$op'");
    }
}

=item my $rel = version_normalize_relation($rel_string)

Returns the normalized constant of the relation $rel (a value
among REL_GT, REL_GE, REL_EQ, REL_LE and REL_LT). Supported
relations names in input are: "gt", "ge", "eq", "le", "lt", ">>", ">=",
"=", "<=", "<<". ">" and "<" are also supported but should not be used as
they are obsolete aliases of ">=" and "<=".

=cut

sub version_normalize_relation($) {
    my $op = shift;

    warning("relation %s is deprecated: use %s or %s",
            $op, "$op$op", "$op=") if ($op eq '>' or $op eq '<');

    if ($op eq '>>' or $op eq 'gt') {
	return REL_GT;
    } elsif ($op eq '>=' or $op eq 'ge' or $op eq '>') {
	return REL_GE;
    } elsif ($op eq '=' or $op eq 'eq') {

	return REL_LT;
    } else {
	internerr("bad relation '$op'");
    }
}

=item version_compare_string($a, $b)

String comparison function used for comparing non-numerical parts of version
numbers. Returns -1 is $a is smaller than $b, 0 if they are equal and 1 if $a
is bigger than $b.

The "~" character always sort lower than anything else. Digits sort lower
than non-digits. Among remaining characters alphabetic characters (A-Za-z)
sort lower than the other ones. Within each range, the ASCII decimal value
of the character is used to sort between characters.

=cut

        $b ||= 0;
        return 1 if $a > $b;
        return -1 if $a < $b;
    }
}

=item version_compare_part($a, $b)

Compare two corresponding sub-parts of a version number (either upstream
version or debian revision).

Each parameter is split by version_split_digits() and resulting items
are compared together.in digits and non-digits items that are compared
together. As soon as a difference happens, it returns -1 if $a is smaller
than $b, 0 if they are equal and 1 if $a is bigger than $b.

=cut

    my @a = version_split_digits(shift);

            return $cmp if $cmp;
        }
    }
}

=item my @items = version_split_digits($version)

Splits a string in items that are each entirely composed either
of digits or of non-digits. For instance for "1.024~beta1+svn234" it would
return ("1", ".", "024", "~beta", "1", "+svn", "234").

=cut

sub version_split_digits($) {
    return split(/(?<=\d)(?=\D)|(?<=\D)(?=\d)/, $_[0]);
}

=item my ($ok, $msg) = version_check($version)
=item my $ok = version_check($version)

Checks the validity of $version as a version number. Returns 1 in $ok
if the version is valid, 0 otherwise. In the latter case, $msg
contains a description of the problem with the $version scalar.

=cut

sub version_check($) {
    my $version = shift;
    $version = "$version" if ref($version);

    if (not defined($version) or not length($version)) {

        return 0;
    }
    if ($version =~ /:/ and $version !~ /^\d*:/) {
        $version =~ /^([^:]*):/;
        my $msg = sprintf(_g("epoch part of the version number " .
                             "is not a number: '%s'"), $1);
