Have you got an example of revisions?
The Simple Streams README says about that:
* version_name:
A 'version' of a product represents a release, build or collection of
that product. A key in the 'versions' dictionary should be sortable
by rules of a 'LANG=C sort()'. That allows the client to trivially
order versions to find the most recent. Ubuntu uses "serial" numbers
for these keys, in the format YYYYMMDD[.0-9].
json files for Ubuntu and CirrOS images uses this format, although
it seems to not be a strict rule.
It may be possible to use
Common_utils.compare_version which does RPM revision-style comparison.
Hm so you are suggesting to just make the revision internally as string
(but still forcing an integer in native indexes)? That would work too,
I guess.
Thanks,
