Hi, I was not trying to insult you ;) I was just genuinely wondering why you use such a different versioning scheme from other free software projects. I do understand your reasoning behind this but I just wanted to say that diverging from standards causes some problems as well... I wouldn't mind if your "true" releases had bugs in them, since it's impossible not to have them. > So we have just slightly longer version number - > e.g. some are using 0.6.1 - but we have 0.6.0.20YYMMDD - I don't think > it's too big problem :) Hm, ok. In that case, the spec files need to be adjusted, because they rely on the tarball being called avifile-0.6.tar.gz. If I could be of help in fixing rpm-related issues like these, let me know.
