Hey Erik, those added values (e.g. “-0.2.190") come from Mesosphere's CI system which adds build-numbers (the last digit) and some more “noise" for those distribution packages.
I will raise this issue internally and get back to you - hoping that we can get rid of these not so useful extensions in a not too distant future. hth, Till > On Feb 3, 2016, at 2:23 AM, Erik Weathers <eweath...@groupon.com.INVALID> > wrote: > > I've noticed that in the published mesos packages [1] & docker images [2] > that the version name isn't simply: > > - mesos_0.27.0.ubuntu1404_amd64 > > Instead it has the form of: > > - mesos_0.27.0*-0.2.190*.ubuntu1404_amd64 > > Here are a few more examples of this numeric suffix: > > - 0.27.0 -> 0.27.0-0.2.190 > - 0.26.0 -> 0.26.0-0.2.145 > - 0.25.0 -> 0.25.0-0.2.70 > - 0.24.1 -> 0.24.1-0.2.35 > - 0.24.0 -> 0.24.0-1.0.27 > > It is not clear to me what these suffixes represent, and it makes it hard > to write code that can download or install the mesos package for a > particular version given just the simple version name (e.g., 0.27.0).
