For all of you who seem interested by these issues of version numbering, I signal we started not long ago a thread in debian-policy about this. You'll find this under "Summary: dpkg and alpha/beta versioning".
I noted some possible ways of dealing with this issue that I did not include in my 1st summary; I will probably issue an updated one shortly. A number of us are of the opinion that we should take a decision on this once and for all, and that it gets included in the Packaging Manual. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Stop making M$-Bill richer & richer, isp-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.mygale.org/~ydirson/ | Check <http://www.debian.org/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
