Comparing debian version strings
val equal : string -> string -> bool- returns
true iff the two strings define the same version. Hence, the result may be true even when the two string differ syntactically.
val compare : string -> string -> intcompare x y returns 0 if x is eqivalent to y, -1 if x is smaller than y, and 1 if x is greater than y. This is consistent with Pervasives.compare.
