Ok, small announcement.

With latest version of #Pacman (6.1) the #AUR helpers like #Yay and #Paru break so does #Pamac. They require latest #libalpm patches... Wait for updates... #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource

Implementing #libalpm / #pacman compatible vercmp() in #rustlang tends to get a bit bizarre:

"" < "1"
but "" > "a"
and "1.a001a.1" == "1.a1a.1"

(this is all essentially #rpm behavior btw!)

My thanks go out to @anthraxx for doing such a great job at implementing this for #repod a while back and making implementing this for alpm-types much much more straight forward.
