[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 2/2] utils.py: explode_dep_version - add ability to deal with whitespace

[Mark Hatle]

Add the ability to deal with arbitrary whitespace.  Support the comparison
operators of: <, >, =, <=, >=, =<, =>, <<, >>, ==, and !=.

This list was generated based on behavior of deb, opkg and rpm.

Note, In OE the last six are not expected to be supported, but someone
may try to use them.
