1. using the full string "patched' is ugly 2. another software might choose to use "patched" there. The only way we can 100% safely put something to the left of REV, is if we use a separator that we choose to be illegal for upstream software revs. ",p" might work, if both pkgutil and pkg-get wont freak out about the extra ",". so, soft-XXXX,p,REV=YYYY.MM.DD ? (side comment: whatever we use, conceptually becomes "rev=" reborn. but at least using ",xx" is much less ugly than REV=xxxx,rev=yyy) _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
