Hi, they now use 'daily-YYYYMMDD' as the version, it is even shown in the about dialog. They provide daily builds. It doesn't seem they are going to change this release model in the near future (but I will recheck with them). Personally I would go with YYYYMMDD as the version. Anytime later, if the release model change, we will be able to add epoch and use different numbering. Just my two cents thanks & regards Jaroslav -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
