[Spacewalk-list] XMLRPC: channel.software.listLatestPackages does not show packages with letters in version

[Samuel_Suter at mcafee.com]

Hi all,

In one of my channels I have the EPEL "erlang" RPMs. If I do a "channel.software.listLatestPackages" call those RPMs are not listed.

I suspect it's got something to do with the way the erlang RPMs are versioned. Below a dump of what "package.getDetails" returns on "erlang".

Now, is this potentially a bug or is this somewhat as designed/desired? Currently, my only option is to do "listAllPackages" to get those to show up.

Regards

Samuel
