[OE-core] [oe-commits] Martin Jansa : xserver-xorg: use EXTENDPKGV instead of PV in RCONFLICTS_${PN}-module-exa

[Mark Hatle]

Just an FYI -- Martin Jansa found a problem with the implement of the package 
version comparison.

In deb and ipk, they do not support '<' or '>', instead it's '<<' and '>>'. 
(Odd, historical reasons apparently).

While RPM doesn't have any idea what '<<' or '>>' is.

Talking with RP and others it seems like the best approach is to implement a 
conversion, in the deb and ipk packaging classes, to convert '<' and '>' to the 
'<<' and '>>' equivalents.  As well as add a sanity check that nobody is using 
'<<' or '>>'.

I'm in the process of doing that now.
