Is a resolved version older than the bundled one? — maidr_is_older_than

Semantic version precedence, as py-maidr's _is_older_than_bundled applies it: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH compared numerically with numeric_version(); on a tie, a pre-release sorts below the release it precedes (4.9.0-rc.1 < 4.9.0), and two pre-releases compare identifier by identifier, numeric ones numerically and below alphanumeric ones, alphanumeric ones in ASCII order, a shorter run below a longer one it begins. Build metadata (+build.5) carries no precedence and is ignored.

Usage

maidr_is_older_than_bundled(resolved, bundled = MAIDR_VERSION)

Arguments

resolved: The version the resolver answered with
bundled: The version bundled with this package

Value

TRUE when resolved sorts below bundled

Details

A version that cannot be compared is not called older: the resolver's answer, already checked to be a semantic version, stays in place.
