[question] which is bigger according the constraint?

[samisalamiws]

I have a range of the versions and a version that I need to check if it is inside the range.
the constraint that I build was:

element 0: >=3.6.6
element 1: <3.6.8-15.1

(see screenshot for clearer vision)

The version that I'm checking is 3.6.8
The check is returning false on the "less than" element (<3.6.8-15.1)

Why does 3.6.8-15.1 considered not bigger than 3.6.8?

+1, this constraint behaviour looks weird for me as well when I use it for comparing the linux kernel version.

go playground

The expected result should be true for me (5.15.0-7 should large than 5.4.0-77), but it seems that this is on purposed from the previous MR #35
can check this test case

But the current behaviour is quite confusing, the return value "false" does not stand for the version does not meet the constraint. Instead, it indicates "A constraint with a pre-release can only match a pre-release version with the same base segments." from this comment

Thus, the return value for the Check method is ambiguous.
