But on the other hand if it lets us to clean up rest of the mess it is worth doing bit of hassle. Esp. from my packagers point of view I have to say this is quite improving the situation with the macros.
I wish you that all the upstream sources you are packaging would decrement their version.
That's why zypper dup ignores version numbers actually
Nice that "zypper dup" can handle package downgrades. It would still write out messages to the user that he is about to *downgrade*" certain packages. - or rpm supports
epoche - upstream sources *do it all the time*. Most of the time because they see numbers differently than rpm does, but it's a bigger problem in daily distribution development than you seem to think.
In my daily life I have to use --force* flags for "zypper up" or "rpm -U" to install packages with smaller version numbers. Decrementing version numbers are still non-sense. cu.
