mpsql
Anyone using it? I noticed two days ago that the buttons are gone. Since I updated mpsql and lesstif almost at the same time I'm not exactly sure what happened, but have the feeling the change in lesstif caused this. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Please tell me what happens on your system and what version you use. Michael -- Dr. Michael Meskes | Th.-Heuss-Str. 61, D-41812 Erkelenz | Go SF49ers!

dpkg and alpha/beta versioning (Was: Uploaded mpsql 2.0-1)

IIRC, as the ~ char is not not allowed for now in version numbers, it could work. I remember of another proposal of extension of version syntax which was proposed (probably on deb-dev), which IIRC was to use an epoch-like syntax like 0.1:1.2-3, which did not contaminate all future versions with the epoch (which was, as I understand it, one of the arguments epoch's enemies have). I don't remember the (IIRC a bit hairy) exact semantics, but maybe it's worth studying further. Another problem we'll have will be what version-string to present the user to make it understand it's alpha/beta/whatever. Either extensions (tilde and dotted-epoch) are non-trivial as such, and should only be used IMHO as an internal (ie. for dpkg and developpers, and not for users) representation. If we're at last going to discuss these issues, I'm volunteering to coordinate the discussion and post summaries of the discussion's progress. -- Yann Dirson[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Stop making M$-Bill richer richer, isp-email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.mygale.org/~ydirson/ | Check http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, I now it's a pain when it gets out of beta. I know of 4 solutions: Another one is using a '-' as seperator. a '-' sorts lower then a '.', so you can have mpsql_2.0-b1 And then release mpsql_2.0.0 The only problem is that mpsql_2.0 does sort lower so it depends a bit on the version number. But with squid_2.1-beta22 and later squid_2.1.0 it will work. That ones a good idea, but then since I already uploaded 2.0-1 it won't work now. Also the beta is not exactly in the source.

According to Michael Meskes: Miquel van Smoorenburg writes: Another one is using a '-' as seperator. a '-' sorts lower then a '.', so you can have mpsql_2.0-b1 And then release mpsql_2.0.0 The only problem is that mpsql_2.0 does sort lower so it depends a bit on the version number. But with squid_2.1-beta22 and later squid_2.1.0 it will work. That ones a good idea, but then since I already uploaded 2.0-1 it won't work now. Aha, nope - Sort order: mpsql_2.0-1 mpsql_2.0-b1 mpsql_2.0.0 So it is still possible to release a 2.0-b1 or 2.0-b2 now _if_ you know for sure that the stable release is going to be 2.0.0 and not 2.0 But that's something you have to decide on yourself - it doesn't matter to me, I just wanted to point this out since I thought it was a neat solution.
