This is not true. It is perfectly legal to upload a new package starting with *-2 or greater. I have done this recently with a package that I maintain, called xmds. If you look at its debian/changelog[1] you will see that the first official version of the package was 1.5.3-2. Of course, the uploader must be careful in calling dpkg-buildpackage with the appropriate -sa option, such that the original source will be included in the upload. > So anyone who updated from this repository over the last couple > hours should probably purge their dkg-handwriting package. If you wish to release version 0.10-2 to avoid the problem above, I will wait until tomorrow before uploading the package to unstable. -- Rafael [1] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xmds/xmds_1.5.3-6/changelog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
