Description
This replaces the usage of
pkg_resources.parse_versionwith a version parser custom-made for OBS versioning.It obeys to the semver 2.0.0 spec except for a stricter definition of pre-release versioning.
I also took the opportunity to cleanup messages relating to long-outdated versions of obs, and to add an "oudated beta" check that was suggested in comments.
The original includes a check for "caffeine" builds of OBS as an unofficial one. Having never seen one of those in years of support I would assume it isn't relevant anymore, but without clear knowledge on what those are, I preferred to leave it in. Clarifications on their current relevance is welcome.
Motivation and Context
pkg_resources.parse_versionwas only ever meant to be used for python packages and with setuptools >= 66.0 raises an error when called on a version that doesn't conform to python packages versioning rules. As an example, the simple inclusion of a-modified, quite frequent in obs versioning, is enough to break said rules, and as such, the analyzer.While not currently breaking, as the analyzer is run on rather old python, the potential of breaking upon update is rather unwishable, and we should rely on a tool intended for the job, instead of using one in an unintended and unsupported way.
How Has This Been Tested?
Ran it with a bunch of logs plucked from the support server, observed no breaking, and proper reporting of version.
