openbsd: snapshot version comparison

[blshkv]

https://repology.org/metapackage/ike-scan/versions
this may be a long pending issue:
repology/repology-updater#345

OpenBSD Ports | ike-scan | 1.9.4pl20170804
vs
Gentoo overlay Pentoo | ike-scan | 1.9.4_p20170805

somehow, openbsd's version has a higher priority and list others as outdated

[blshkv]

btw, the same package shown as:
1.9.4 (outdated) 1.9.4_p20170805 (legacy)
at the following URL: https://repology.org/metapackages/?inrepo=gentoo_ovl_pentoo&outdated=1

It's all correct, because p is treated as prerelease and pl as postrelease. Actually, both dates are snapshots and should be ignored.

[blshkv]

We use _pre for pre-release and _p for post release. Please fix this logic for gentoo

[AMDmi3]

Is this documented somewhere?

It probably could be done, but it would be pointless, as either way these are snapshots which cannot be compared to anything and will be ignored. Cases where upstream uses p should be dealt with individually.

_alpha -> _beta -> _pre -> _rc -> release -> _p

It will be useful for cases like that one:
https://repology.org/metapackage/pyrit/versions

Pyrit was released back in 2015 and we provide the latest _p with few recent and important changes

[blshkv]

Here are few more examples:
https://repology.org/metapackage/beef-browser-exploitation/versions
https://repology.org/metapackage/hcxkeys/versions

Packages listed as "outdated" but they are ahead in reality.

[AMDmi3]

Done. All *_p* versions from Gentoo family are now considered as patch, and are ignored as well.
