Communication problems again... :) I know what is your idea. There is a difference between your solution (changing the package version to indicate the cvs status) and my solution (adding a human readable text to indicate the cvs status). Your solution produces 2 problems: version comparision (2.5.4_cvs > 2.5.4) is wrong and testing is harder, because on the last minute before a new release the version is changed from the developed one. I would only use x.y.z versions without any suffix and have another way to indicate the cvs status. This seems the only good way for allowing smooth snapshot rpm or dep packages. But I don't want to force this. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
