2007-02-16 Thread Scot Hetzel
I read about users confusion with wine version numbering scheme. Personally, I would redirect these confused users to the wiki page at wikipedia where it discusses what the numbers mean in a software version numbering scheme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_version The MAME project had the

90 percent of statistics don't contain a 0 either! Whoops... Jokes aside, I was answering some wine related question on Ubuntuforums.org and came across this, many light users tend to do it. I even thought of it that way when I first learned about the common linux versioning system. I don't think

Maybe this would be unworkable in git or whatnot but perhaps always making the minor version field double digit would do the trick? 0.9.03 0.9.09 0.9.10 ... 0.9.30 etc this would fix the sorting problems that arise from going from single to double digit names in most programs too. As long as th

mr. Scott, I am a wine user for long time - I understand from start that actual system is not a decimal system - but a numbering one - so for me the difference between 0.9.3. and 0.9.30 is the difference between 3 and 30. If I presume correct, instead of changing numbering system - maybe is be
