Yes, either ~ or + will work provided that you haven't just realized that upstream has files that have to be removed. Everyone used + or . to start with because they had to go from 1.6 to 1.6+dfsg versions, for which ~ won't work. But after that first conversion, + or ~ is just a matter of personal preference. (I would avoid -, even though it works, because people tend to get confused about version numbers containing more than one dash.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
