I was asking for clarity so that no one can possibly get confused.
If you look at the download page, the .0 is missing on some of
the packages, but shows up as a -0 on some of the others, and
that is simply confusing and totally unnecessary. If it is
necessary for some reason, then it needs to be explained.
Also, I believe that it's very common with Linux packages (and
probably the
projects themselves) to do that sort of versioning where
there's never a .0
and the last part only gets added when you actually get a .1.
There's no law that states that we must follow old conventions.
