--- Comment #18 from Rainer Meier <r.me...@wpkg.org> 2009-06-17 10:21:41 --- > What about using minus "-" and plus "+" ? The "minus" sign is already reserved as a version-separator (similar to a dot). There are quite a number of applications that use this separator to mark sub- and patch releases. For example 1.0, 1.0-r1, 1.0-r2... where 1.0-r1 is newer than 1.0. The plus sign is not reserved yet but the current algorithm accepts any non-alphanumeric character as a sub-version separator. So 1.0+1 is newer than 1.0 and 1.0+2 is newer than 1.0+1 if you like to use it. > 1.0RC1 is lower than 1.0, why not using 1.0-1 ? > 1.0MR1 is greater than 1.0, why not using 1.0+1 ? > Each RC, MR, a, b & co are greater or lower, abstract all with "+" and "-". > 1.0-1.1: version 1.1 before 1.0 (but after 0.9). > 1.0+0.2: version 0.2 after 1.0 (but before 1.1). Unfortunately this would require users to know a WPKG-specific versioning scheme and somehow translate application schemes into WPKG-like versions. The current algorithm targets to work with most version schemes used by real-world applications without having to adapt the version. WPKG should be able to use most of these versions 1:1. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
