Right now it is difficult to respin a release on say FC5 w/out running into
having it be versioned HIGHER than that in FC6 or in devel. If we're going
to adopt the jpackage naming scheme into our guidelines there needs to be
some thought put around this.
We recently approved the ability to add an int after the dist tag for this
purpose, so that the release could be:
<int>%{?dist}.<int> or once translated:
3.fc6.1
This keeps it lower than say 3.fc7 but allows for it to be respun w/out having
to bump the fc7 version.
How can this fit into the jpp naming scheme as it stands? Currently there is
just 'fc', no indication which Fedora release, and there are no numbers after
it. This should be addressed.
