~ sorts after ., so "0~110427" will be considered newer than "0.1". Therefore, the 0 in 0~YYMMDD is meaningless, and would be no better than ~YYMMDD (which would still sort after 0.1, and require an epoch). -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
