rpm 4.10 includes “~” as a special versioning character, just like dpkg has for ages. Holds a special place in my heart since I did the original patch for dpkg a bit over 11 years ago now. (And looking at that bug history now, it appears it was accepted for my birthday a year later, awww). “ls” from coreutils also supports it (they borrowed the code from dpkg, based on a copyright disclaimer request I’ve finally gotten around to replying to), though I don’t think it’s actually documented.
Like I needed more reasons not to be impressed by US politics.

Wow!! if you seriously rode 5000 kilometers.
