Hi Robert, hi everyone. I haven't been following closely, but while you are working out details, let me just mention that I recommend against version numbers that require special interpretation to discover their ordering, e.g. 3.4.0-1 < 3.4.0. Mostly I'm just thinking that somebody's not going to get the memo (it's usually me). For what it's worth, and all the best. Robert.
