Hello,
If I want to do something like this:-
if $::lsbdistrelease >= 6.3 {
SOMETHING
}
Do I have to convert lsbdistrelease from a string to a number with an
inline template or some such ?
Thanks
Paul

All fact values are strings, and the language docs specify that the behavior of the <, <=, >=, and > operators is undefined for strings. For this particular case, however, Alessandro Ogier''s suggestion to use the versioncmp() function is an excellent one. Not only is it easy to use, but it still does what you (probably) want when you compare against, say, version 6.11.
