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.I will say that I was doing this via cargo-cult. I noticed hat people were doing this for packages which were mainly minor build changes and we have a lot of cranky people who want consistency between their branches. I rely on them being less cranky at me so I followed what was being done in their packages across the board. If that however is not what I was supposed to do.. I apologize.
No problem here - I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.
