OpenWrt picks release candidates instead of stable releases

[xorbug]

After noticing lxc/lxc-ci/issues/960, it turns out a recent commit 194b0f4 introduced support for release candidate versions. From what I can see, while the release picking logic (last item lexicographically) worked well for stable releases only, it doesn't anymore when rc releases (e.g. 25.12.0-rc5) are involved, as they always appear last after the corresponding stable (e.g. 25.12.0), which never gets selected.

How should this issue be resolved? The situation remains the same after 5 days, nothing has changed.

It gets fixed by someone sending a PR fixing the bug, it's not going to magically fix itself ;)

I can give it a go if you want.

@xorbug that'd be great!

OpenWRT 25.12.1 was released,but now the nothing isn't building.

@tkkost that is unrelated to this issue and afaict it's due to some recent switch from one download format to another, and its procesing. I imagine maintainers noticed already as it breaks CI for all OpenWrt releases.
