Opkg treats text after a version number as higher than without:
~# opkg compare-versions "2.80rc1" "<<" "2.80"; echo $?
1
~# opkg compare-versions "2.80rc1" ">>" "2.80"; echo $?
0
This causes opkg not offering final release as upgradable version, and
even refusing to update, since it thinks the installed version is
higher.
This can be mitigated by adding ~ between the version and the text, as ~
will order as less than everything except itself. Since 'r' < 't', to
make sure that test will be treated as lower than rc we add a second ~
before the test tag. That way, the ordering becomes
2.80~~test < 2.80~rc < 2.80
which then makes opkg properly treat prerelease versions as lower.
