Thanks for the changes! I would agree that string version comparison is not the right way to go. However, the code (ae3c98c) has been in aptly for 8 years like this! I am a bit hesitant to merge this as it might break some random things ... Did you encounter any specific issues with the string version comparison?

[russelltg]

Yes, I was trying to write a script to remove all versions less than the most recent version minus some number, and the subtracted number had less digits so it ended up removing many versions higher than expected (for example, with that string compassion, versions 2 > 10). That test I included fails before my changes
