Subject: RE: [sdd-comment] VersionRangeType
Jason, You are correct in that version is not a numeric that can be compared. We had this discussion at the F2F in FLA. Regards, Randy George Senior Technical Staff Member Tivoli Software, IBM Software Group Austin, TX (512) 838-0752 T/L 678-0752 Jason Losh <Jason.Losh@sas.com> 02/19/08 10:58 AM To Julia McCarthy/Raleigh/IBM@IBMUS cc "sdd-comment@lists.oasis-open.org" <sdd-comment@lists.oasis-open.org> Subject RE: [sdd-comment] VersionRangeType Hi Julia, How are the semantics of FixName any different than the semantics associated with the VersionRangeType based upon my proposal? MinVersion and MaxVersion are of type VersionType which is xsd:string. FixName is also xsd:string. How are the greater than/less than comparison's semantically different? There is no rule that MinVersion and MaxVersion can't be "Joe" or "Sam" respectively and as such the comparison issue raised for FixName is also inherent in MinVersion/MaxVersion. I see no difference. The issue you raised is why I recommend we revisit Version in the 1.1 version of the specification. For 1.0, however, I am looking for a tweak that gets us closer to having something that works and I think adding FixName to MinVersion/MaxVersion gets us much closer. And I would like to amend my proposal based on Randy and I's exchange last night and state that we should remove FixName from VersionRangeType and only have FixName associated with MinVersion and MaxVersion.

Fix name can only be compared for equality. Let's use your example of a min version of Windows 2000 with SP1 and max Version of Windows Vista with SP1. If the actual os is Windows 2000 with SP4, all you know is that it is not Windows 2000 with SP1. You do NOT know if it is within the required range. SP1 and SP42 are fix names and the semantics of fix name do not involve comparison for greater or less than. All you can know is that SP1 does not equal SP4.

FixName in this case is associated with the range and not the MinVersion or MaxVersion elements. I suggest adding FixName to MinVersion and MaxVersion in addition to leaving FixName associated with the overall range. By adding FixName to MinVersion and MaxVersion, one can specify a minimum and maximum version that includes fix information specific to MinVersion and MaxVersion, for example, any Windows operating system between Windows 2000 SP1 and Windows Vista SP1.
