6 Version - Versioning system..
7
8 The versioning system represents how versions are compared, represented
9 and how dependencies are evaluated. As a general rule versioning
10 systems are not compatible unless specifically allowed by the
11 TestCompatibility query.
12
13 The versions are stored in a global list of versions, but that is just
14 so that they can be queried when someone does 'apt-get -v'.
15 pkgSystem provides the proper means to access the VS for the active
16 system.
