Description

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Using rez package manager, I would like Renovate to be able to upgrade the version of dependencies while matching the current version precision of those dependencies.

For example, if foo-3.2.1 is the latest version available to update to, then: If the current version in the project is foo-1, then it should be updated to foo-3. If the current version in the project is foo-1.0 (or foo-1.x), then it should be updated to foo-3.2. If the current version in the project is foo-1.0.0 (or foo-1.x.y), then it should be updated to foo-3.2.1.

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

Research direction
Examine existing versioning strategies in Renovate, particularly in the package manager abstraction layer. Look at files like 'lib/manager/rez/...' and versioning modules for pattern matching. The issue suggests replicating behavior similar to npm's range precision matching. Check linked PRs or comments for any prior attempts.
