debian version handling in rust

This simple crate provides a struct for parsing, validating, manipulating and comparing Debian version strings.

It aims to follow the version specification as described in Debian policy 5.6.12.

Example:

use debversion::Version;

let version: Version = "1.0-1".parse()?;
assert_eq!(version.epoch, Some(0));
assert_eq!(version.upstream_version, "1.0");
assert_eq!(version.debian_revision, Some("1"));

let version1: Version = "1.0-0".parse()?;
let version2: Version = "1.0".parse()?;
assert_eq!(version1, version2);

let version1: Version = "1.0-1".parse()?;
let version2: Version = "1.0~alpha1-1".parse()?;
assert!(version2 < version1);
