- Result: `{pkg: version}` and `{pkg: error}` from the JSON log. A package
without a result, or a failed run (exit status, stderr), shows as
`nvchecker error` with the reason in the tooltip.
+- Upstream versions are stored with `-` as `_` (mkhint's `_normalize_version`):
+ `-` is illegal in a SlackBuild version, so upstream `2026-10-14` is
+ packaged `2026_10_14`. The comparison and `hint-update` use that form.
- A package is outdated when its upstream version differs from the hint
`VERSION`, or from the `.info` `VERSION` when the hint has none. Versions
are compared as strings; no ordering is attempted.
