Mostly because, IMHO, that is not the proper solution to the problem. If you have a dependent subsidiary product which is specific to the (EG) major revision of some other project, then the first release of the subsid for the new version should be *1.0*, the *product name* should be modified to indicate which version of it's parent it applies to. Apache 1 and Apache 2 really *are* two separate parents; encoding your dependency in *your own* version number is a recipe for pain. As is obvious. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
