Hi,

I've noticed that (mostly Smooge) has been using the minor release bump (e.g., the .1 after the ?dist)

<pkgrel>[.<extraver>][.<snapinfo>]%{?dist}[.<minorbump>]

in initial EPEL8 package versions that have been branched from Fedora. I just want to understand the reasoning behind this. I would think the main motivation would be if there was an upgrade path between EPEL8 and Fedora, but I don't think such a thing would ever exist.

I guess it might also make sense if a packager plans to maintain a single spec for Fedora and EPEL8(?), but not if EPEL8 is going to be maintained as a separate branch.

Thanks,
Scott
