[PATCH 05/10] lib/version: Version parsing and comparison

Fri Aug 25 15:59:35 AEST 2017


Skiboot defines a versioning scheme [0] to interpret version strings read
from the the VERSION MTD partition or the device tree on OpenPOWER
platforms. 'lib/version' implements this scheme and allows Petitboot to
compare two sets of package version strings and determine which is
newer.
