Current Version: 4.7.1-SNAPSHOT (in pom.xml) | Task: Build a minor

A little bit about versioning, quite many distributions[a] has
adopted '~'
in version numbers. It has a very special meaning:
'~' sorts before ''
meaning that 4.7.4~beta1 is less than 4.7.4~rc1 which is less than
4.7.4
which is less than 4.7.4-beta. and of course
4.7.4~~snapshot-2012-12-12
is less than 4.7.4~
(on a side note, 0~ is positive and less than zero :)
If we adopt the same magic character with the same meaning, it would
hopefulyl help in exactly telling what we do. E.g. is 4.7.1-SNAPSHOT
a
4.7.1 prerelease or a snapshot of the 4.7 branch after 4.7.1 ?
[a] in debian (dpkg/apt) since many years and recently also in new
versions
of rpm
This will be my first step (This Weekend). Implementing a version logic
complete
with unit tests. I will present it during the next week hopefully here
for review.
Unless someone can point me to some python lib/class/module i can
reuse. I will
naturally do some research before starting but if someone has some
links/bookmarks already?
One last question. Is there still someone that requires the 4.9.80,
4.9.90 etc. number for
the betas and rcs? Are we free to standardize that or is it a
requirement to keep that?
Btw. http://semver.org/ . Anything i come up with is heavily influenced
by that. But
i will take the hint about ~ into account if noone objects to using
that or we have to keep the
.80 releases.
