GitHub - package-url/univers: Parse and compare all the package versions and all the ranges. From debian, npm, pypi, ruby and more. Process all the version range specs and expressions. This project is sponsored by an NLnet project https://nlnet.nl/project/vulnerabilitydatabase

univers was born out of the need for a mostly universal way to store version ranges and to compare two software package versions in VulnerableCode.

Package version ranges and version constraints are useful and essential:

• When relating a known vulnerability or bug to a range of affected package versions. For instance a statement such as "vulnerability 123 affects package bar, version 3.1 and version 4.2 but not version 5" defines a range of bar versions affected by a vulnerability.
• When resolving the dependencies of a package to express which subset of the versions are supported. For instance a dependency requirement statement such as "I require package foo, version 2.0 and later versions" defines a range of acceptable foo versions.

Version syntaxes and range notations are quite different across ecosystems, making it is difficult to process versions and version ranges across ecosystems in a consistent way.

Existing tools and libraries typically support a single algorithms to parse and compare versions with a single version range notation for a single package ecosystem.

univers is different:

• It tracks each ecosystem versioning scheme and how two versions are compared.
• It support a growing number of package ecosystems versioning in a single library.
• It can parse version range strings using their native notation (such as an npm range) into the common "vers" notation and internal object model and can return back a native version range string rebuilt from a "vers" range.
• It is designed to work with Package URLs (purl).

univers wraps, embeds and implements multiple version comparison libraries, each focused on a specific ecosystem versioning scheme.

For each scheme, univers provides an implementation for:

• the version comparison procedure e.g, how to compare two versions,
• parsing and converting from a native version range notation to the univers normalized and unified internal model,
• converting a range back to its scheme-native range syntax and to the vers syntax.

univers implements vers, an experimental unified and mostly universal version range syntax. It can parse and convert an existing native version range strings to this unified syntax. For example, this means:

• converting ">=1.2.3" as used in a Python package into vers:pypi/>=1.2.3,
• or converting "^1.0.2" as used in an npm package dependency declaration into vers:npm/>=1.0.2|<2.0.0

The supported package ecosystems versioning schemes and underlying libraries include:

• npm that use the "node-semver" ranges notation and the semver versions syntax This is supported in part by the semantic_version library.
• pypi: handled by Python's packaging library and the standard packaging.version module.
• Rubygems which use a semver-like but not-quite-semver scheme and there can be commonly more than three version segments. Gems also use a slightly different range notation from node-semver with different operators and slightly different semantics: for instance it uses "~>" as a pessimistic operator and supports exclusion with != and does not support "OR" between constraints (that it call requirements). Gem are handled by Python port of the Rubygems requirements and version handling code from the puppeteer tool
• debian: handled by the debian-inspector library.
• maven: handled by the embedded pymaven library.
• rpm: handled by the embedded rpm_vercmp library.
• golang (using semver)
• PHP composer
• ebuild/gentoo: handled by the embedded gentoo_vercmp module.
• arch linux: handled by the embedded arch utility module borrowed from msys2.
• Alpine linux: handled using the base Gentoo version support and extras specific to Alpine.

The level of support for each ecosystem may not be even for now and new schemes and support for more package types are implemented on a continuous basis.

Rather than using ecosystem-specific version schemes and code, another approach is to use a single procedure for all the versions as implemented in libversion. libversion works in the most common case but may not work correctly when a task that demand precise version comparisons such as for dependency resolution and vulnerability lookup where a "good enough" comparison accuracy is not acceptable. libversion does not handle version range notations.

$ pip install univers

Compare two native Python versions:

from univers.versions import PypiVersion
assert PypiVersion("1.2.3") < PypiVersion("1.2.4")

Normalize a version range from an npm:

from univers.version_range import NpmVersionRange
range = NpmVersionRange.from_native("^1.0.2")
assert str(range) == "vers:npm/>=1.0.2|<2.0.0"

Test if a version is within or outside a version range:

from univers.versions import PypiVersion
from univers.version_range import VersionRange

range = VersionRange.from_string("vers:pypi/>=1.2.4")

assert PypiVersion("1.2.4") in range
assert PypiVersion("1.2.3") not in range
