How come the link from libdbi.sourceforge.net is going to the 0.8.3 and not 0.8.3-1? Can you fix your website link? > The latest official libdi-drivers release is indeed 0.8.3-1.

We don't mean to make > package maintainer's tasks harder than necessary. In Debian, we have upstreamversion-debianrelease. That means that if you have 0.8.3-1, the Debian version will be 0.8.3-1-1, which isn't very pretty. I am gessing that in FreeBDS this is also an issue as they don't use - in there versioning scheme. What would be best would be to use 0.8.3, then if you have a bugfix release use 0.8.3.1, which is bigger than just 0.8.3. Or even better, just have the first release called 0.8.3.0 so that it confuses no one. Now, did you say that there is a 0.9.0 available somewhere? I'm not sur by reading the above, and I didn't find it.
