[arch-general] Question on version numbers

2014-06-15 Thread Stefan Tatschner 
Hi,
just because I'm inquisitive. What's the purpose of version numbers with
a colon? I've seen this in several packages, e.g. this one [1]. Upstream
version number is 5.0.2 and arch version number is 1:5.0.2.

Regards,
Stefan
