Package Versioning Policy is used with Haskell. It's like semver, except that the first two parts are of the major version. That is, in A.B.C:

• A.B: major version
• C: minor

The remaining parts are all considered of the patch version, and they will be concatenated to form a number, i.e. IEEE 754 double. This means that both 0.0.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0.10 have patch version 0.1.

The range syntax comes from Cabal, specifically the build-depends section.

This module is considered experimental since it only supports ranges of forms:

• >=W.X && <Y.Z
• <Y.Z && >=W.X
