To help keep track of this stuff (and to make pull requests a possibility), I created a "PyPI Metadata Formats" repo on BitBucket and filed this as the first issue: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi-metadata-formats/issue/1/add-local-numbering-to-pep-440 Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
