I'll just toss in that personally, I prefer the traditional -pre tags (enlightenment-0.16.7-pre3.tar.gz)0.99.3.1 and so forth. a's and b's are more likely to confuse version comparison than help anything. Without going into detail about how version comparisons work, I'll just say that the goal is to eliminate ambiguity, and the easiest way to do that is to separate version/subversion info with dots and always go incrementally.

as apposed to subversioning. It seems too easy for someone unaware of the versioning scheme
to mistake a pre as a full release, and it's unrealistic to expect that they'll just know. The old naming convention never caused problems for me, or in packaging using tardist (IRIX),
PKG (Solaris) or SD-UX (HP-UX), but then I don't use the Really Pathetic Manager.
Just an opposing viewpoint.
