Hi,

So you have a

How about this convention for Fedora:
Release: %{jpackage_release_number}.%{fedora_release_number}
This example becomes:
foo-2.3-1jpp -> foo-2.3-1.1 -> foo-2.3-2jpp -> foo-2.3-2.1
with further Fedora updates being:
foo-2.3-2.1 -> foo-2.3-2.2 -> foo-2.3-2.3
The release string convention for JPackage packages in Fedora would resemble the
convention for pre-release packages. The release field would no longer
contain underscores or non-numeric characters, but it would still be easy for
users and developers to see which JPackage release a given Fedora package was
derived from. Because the update path is preserved, this change could be
introduced gradually, package by package.
