Should RPM versions be based on upstream versions? Or should we care to make distro upgrades actually work all the time, every time? We've already abused RPM version in kernel packages to meet the goal of RPM upgradeability. So how about something like this? FC6: kernel-6.2.6.18 kernel-6.2.6.20 kernel-6.2.6.21 F7: kernel-7.2.6.20 kernel-7.2.6.21 Or perhaps: FC6: kernel-6.20061204 kernel-6.20070305 kernel-6.20070605 F7: kernel-7.20070605 kernel-7.20070612 Yes I realize these are radical ideas, but perhaps we need to rethink what we use for ordering packages and stop pretending that upstream version numbers can do this for us. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
