Succinct, but true. To give a concrete example: foo-99-1 is in current rawhide and F32 branches. In rawhide, the mass rebuild happens, but so we get foo-99-2. But this is a noarch package and foo-99-1.fc32 and foo-99-2.fc33 are effectively identical, despite having different NVr (where "r" is just the number part without the dist tag). Now a bug reported that only affects F32 or the maintainer rebuilds in F32 only. A rebuild with the fix is labelled foo-99-2.fc32. Now the packages are functionally different, despite having same NVr. (And this is all correct packaging, according to update guidelines. The upgrade path is preserved at all times, and that is the only thing that is required.) So yeah, I stand by my original statement that > The numbers <commits-since-version-bump> in different branches cannot > be meaningfully compared. Those numbers only make sense in the context > of a specific branch, so they should be ordered after <dist>.
