1143608 - Make beta versions matching algorithm support semver

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[Andreas Wagner [:TheOne] [use NI]]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tools/package_json says jpm wants add-ons to have a valid semver (http://semver.org/).

We need to update our algorithm that recognizes alpha, beta, etc. versions to match what semver defines.

In particular, we curently don't recognize the following format as a beta version:

1.5.3-beta.5

However, we need to stay backwards compatible, so we also match versions like:

1.5.3-beta
1.5.3-beta5

Fixed in https://github.com/mozilla/olympia/commit/8cefaa16d8dabe43df0836e1ae940e901cbedaf2

STR: submit addons with such version numbers, and make sure they are detected as beta.
