Actually, Red Hat-based distros (at least) use that "-1" for internal changes. Let's say there is a version: 4.0.12rc3 I (or Red Hat) decide to build an RPM based on that, so my version is: 4.0.12rc3-1 Then, Rainer releases a 4.0.12rc4. It has too many new features in it, so I decide not to move to it. HOWEVER, it also has one crucial bugfix that I need. So I take that patch and backport it into my version. Now, my new *local* version is: 4.0.12rc3-2 So, I do like the idea of attaching rc* (because that makes it clear the changes are from the developer), but not a dash-number (-1, etc.) to the version, if at all possible, because those tend to be localized/internal version number changes. johnn _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog
