I guess it depends. If there has been no "stable" release with a version number, then something like 20070112svn is what I would use for the upstream version. Personally, I would stay away from using rev numbers since they are meaningless to anyone not intimately familiar with development of that package.
IMO revision numbers are more useful as they are easier to line up with upstream and if reporting a bug a revision number is probably more useful to the upstream developer, especially if more than one commit was made on one day. JFTR the software I am packaging has had semi-stable releases but they are few and far between and all bugfixing goes on in SVN.
For something that has had stable releases and you are packaging snapshots between releases, I would do something 1.1.15~20070112svn for the upstream version.
So for a snapshot of revision 91 between stable version 2.0 and future version 2.1, would something like: 2.1~20070123svn.r91 be OK? -- Andrew Donnellan ajdlinuxATgmailDOTcom (primary) ajdlinuxATexemailDOTcomDOTau (secure) http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.wordpress.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 http://linux.org.au http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
