#operator: Documentation

Where can I learn more about how e.g. ~= and ~> work? I dug into the code a bit, but I'm still not entirely clear...

Thanks!

In fact, I tried something right out of the API reference:
        versionString: '3.5.0';
        operator: #~>;
which failed in Pharo 4.0 with ByteString DNU #~>. Apparently Gofer was trying to use that operator to compare the author names...

Not a lot of documentation, because there hasn't been a lot of demand to
leverage that feature set ... #>= is pretty much the default operator
... now that I'm moving more towards git, there is even less incentive
to emphasize the operators ...

for configurations I think that the #releasexx symbolic versions are
better for managing project versions, because you have the opportunity
to include platform nuances ...

I think you'll be in town this weekend, so we can talk more then...

I guess I should add, not a lot of testing to the list .... I tried
using the #>= the other day with MetacelloSemanticVersionNumber and it
failed there as well[1] ...

So a but report is called for:)

Ah, yes. Good idea. I wanted to load any version 3.5+ (e.g. 3.5.0, 3.5.1, 3.6.x), but couldn't get it to work. #~= at least didn't give an error, but it rejected all the fuzzy formats I could think of (e.g. '3.5.x', '3.5.?') and seemed to require an explicit version.

Notwithstanding my earlier comments this feature should work.

I think we should be able to get this working this weekend.
