[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1171081] Re: The numbering of the package is undescriptive
Thank you for reporting this, however I think this is more a request than a bug. I'm pretty sure that the Ubuntu packages are different (and therefore numbered differently) to the upstream releases. ** Changed in: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171081 Title: The numbering of the package is undescriptive Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: If you look at the fglrx package for raring: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/fglrx you can see it's numbered 9.010.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1171081] Re: The numbering of the package is undescriptive
If there is a reason why the numbering must remain in the current state, could the YEAR.MONTH be added to the package description. In such a way, there would be no confusion and the packaging name could remain as it is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171081 Title: The numbering of the package is undescriptive Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: If you look at the fglrx package for raring: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/fglrx you can see it's numbered 9.010.
