Yes, but the problem here is that '-p4- is interpreted as "another part
of the name" since it BEGINS with an alphabetic character. E.g. in
"tetex-beta-", the 'beta' is part of the name, not a version. So, setup
is probably recording this as
package: xml-base-p4
version: 1
release: <none>
Perhaps renaming it to xml-base-4p-1 would help? Then, the parser would
figure it out thus:
package: xml-base
version: 4p
release: 1
Or am I just talking bull patties?
