Add 2 new commands
opam admin {assert-}compare-versions
to compare package versions for sanity checks.compare-versions
- User interactive.In this command, we provide two versions, and opam outputs a user-friendly expression with the result of the comparison, spelled out. For example:
$ opam admin compare-versions 0.0.9 0.0.10 0.0.9 < 0.0.10
The command exits 0 regardless of the result of the comparison.
assert-compare-versions
- For use in scripts, if needed.This command is silent, and requires an operator {lt,le,eq}. The result of the command will be encoded in the exit code, to be used in bash conditionals:
exit 0: the comparison holds
exit 1: it doesn't
