Burn engine should handle non-QWORD versions #6210
Description
If this issue is a feature request:
- Describe the scenario and benefits that the feature supports.
The Burn engine uses version numbers as
QWORDs to drive some of its most critical functionality. In the real world, versions can't always be parsed into aQWORD. Today, Burn cannot successfully perform a Detect/Plan/Apply cycle when packages have a version that Burn doesn't support. This makes it impossible to use Burn for users that can't avoid these problematic packages.
- Describe how you're accomplishing the feature today (if possible).
Impossible.
- Describe what you'd like the new feature to do.
Remove the assumption in the Burn engine that all versions can be parsed into a
QWORD.
