Installation section gives misadvice about version (at least for 0.x.y.z)

[dpwiz]

It says In your cabal file: acme-example ^>= 0.1. But it doesn't know the actual version policy for the package.

Of course, there's PVP with MAJOR.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH scheme. But even if we ignore all the explicit non-practitioners there's something like a custom for "experimental", where the "epoch" major being 0, shifts the breaking part further to the right.

Ideally the packages should signal their "breaking" scheme somewhere in the package description, but that's outside the Flora powers (x-breaking: 0.x.y, anyone?).

I think at least a hack for 0.x would make the advice a bit more resilient by recommending acme-example ^>= 0.1.2 instead.

@dpwiz Ok I can understand the argument for the 0.x version series. Can I let you submit a patch? This is the bit of code you want to modify:

flora-server/src/web/FloraWeb/Pages/Templates/Packages.hs

Lines 475 to 483 in bc2a869

	formatInstallString :: PackageName -> Release -> Text
	formatInstallString packageName Release{version} =
	Text.pack . render $
	hcat [pretty packageName, PP.space, rangedVersion, ","]
	where
	rangedVersion :: Doc
	rangedVersion = "^>=" <> majMin
	majMin :: Doc
	majMin = pretty $ mkVersion $ List.take 2 $ versionNumbers version

@dpwiz Do you still wish to tackle that one or can I reassign it?
