My Perl program reads from your CVS configure.in (or fo some packages like embrace it's configure.ac) to pickup the current version. E.g. (line 25) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(Eterm, 0.9.4) That's how it's able to keep track of some of those version changes of the packages in CVS. It worked well so far. It might not be the best solution but it's one way of seeing it. When Eterm is officially released, I'll just make a big announcement to wipe out the *old* one. The close to 10,000 users that hang on to the repo read my news page. :) When raster's downgraded some packages, everybody knew in one way or another that it has been downgraded by reading some form of news and they removed the old stuff. So this might not be that big of an issue. Maybe this form would have been better Eterm-0.9.3.999-1.20051016cvs.i386.rpm but be reassured that I will make sure that the users can upgrade to a new release. -- With kind regards, Didier. ------------ Yum/apt repository for DR17/EFL: http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe Didier F.B Casse PhD candidate, Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) National University of Singapore. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
