Hello, The watchfile looks perfectly fine: version=3 opts=uversionmangle=s/(\d)[_\.\-\+]?((RC|rc|pre|dev|BETA|beta|alpha|b|a)[\-\.]?\d*)$/$1~$2/ \ http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/vpcs/vpcs-(\d.*)-(?:src|source)\.(?:tgz|tbz|tbz2|txz|tar\.(?:gz|bz2|xz)) It looks at the upstream version, sees "0.5b0" and mangles it into a version number that sorts properly in debian, "0.5~b0". cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

[...] Hello, I do not think there are any other reasonable[1] possibilities available. You can either use an epoch (forever) or live with a ugly version number for some time. Personally I would use an ugly version number for the 0.5 release: Upstream Debian 0.5b0 0.5b0-1 0.5b1 0.5b1-1 ... 0.5rc1 0.5rc1-1 ... 0.50.5+rel-1 0.6b0 0.6~b1 (Please doublcheck the sorting with dpkg --compare-versions, I might have made an error, too. ;-) hth, cu Andreas [1] renaming the package does not count. -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

Correcting a version number
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear mentors, I have realised that in an earlier package upload, I made a blunder with regards the version of the package. The package was versioned as 0.5b0-1, though I somehow missed, despite testing the watch file that this should have been 0.5~b0-1. I have seen some discussion on correcting the version number, either by using an epoch or by adding an additional part to the version number. - From what I can see, the only way to fix the version number here is to use an epoch, but from what I've this should be avoided if possible, so does anyone have any other suggestion on how to correct this version number?
