Hi,

What is the meaning of the latest kernel extra version numbers?
3.7.1-1
3.7.2-203
3.7.2-204
3.7.3-201

I don't see any order here.

The hundreds series is speific to the fedora version. Currently f17 is 1xx and f18 is 2xx. The purpose is to keep f18 versions ahead of f17 versions so that updates will work better.

Presumably as new kernels come out the base number will change to reflect the currently supported versions of Fedora. So that for the 3.9 kernel, f18 will probably be 1xx and f19 2xx.
