Hi Richard,

given 9.2.1+git is a pre-release of 9.2.1, shouldn't it be versioned 9.2.1~git in order to be compared correctly:

$ LANG=C zypper vcmp gcc9-9.2.1+git1022-1.1 gcc9-9.2.1~git1022-1.1 gcc9-9.2.1+git1022-1.1 is newer than gcc9-9.2.1~git1022-1.1

Especially, if a gcc-9.2.1 version is released (I know, it's very unlikely for openSUSE to package a released gcc package):

$ LANG=C zypper vcmp gcc9-9.2.1-1.1 gcc9-9.2.1~git1022-1.1 gcc9-9.2.1-1.1 is newer than gcc9-9.2.1~git1022-1.1

Compare to: a 9.2.1+ version is always interpreted as newer:

$ LANG=C zypper vcmp gcc9-9.2.1-1.1 gcc9-9.2.1+git1022-1.1 gcc9-9.2.1-1.1 is older than gcc9-9.2.1+git1022-1.1

Maybe, you want to consider this change, when the suite is updated the next time.

Hello.

Thanks for heads up. We know about the problem which is caused by GCC transition from SVN to GIT.
