             Summary: Use a better Semver library to fix bugs in the package manager
                 Key: SOLR-15910
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-15910
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Package Manager
    Affects Versions: 9.0
            Reporter: Houston Putman
            Assignee: Houston Putman


We are using a semver libary currently that doesn't support features in the test ("8 - 9"), and also hasn't been updated in 7 years. https://github.com/zafarkhaja/jsemver

Jan also found a bug in the way that it's toString() method works.

We need to use a more modern library: [https://github.com/vdurmont/semver4j]

However there is a small but critical bug in their NPM version comparing: [https://github.com/vdurmont/semver4j/issues/48]

The library hasn't been updated in 2 years, so it looks like we will need to fork this unfortunately to fix the bugs. If anyone can find another library that we can use, I'd be happy to use that instead, but I wasn't able to find anything after looking for quite a while.
