This likely happened because the original release string was non-conformant. It should have originally been: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.1-0.1.20100705git37b348059.fc14 in which case the script would have bumped it to xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.13.1-0.2.2010705git.... So in this case it appears it was a garbage in / garbage out issue. The bump script lives in releng git repo (git.fedorahosted.org/releng if anybody wants to hack on it. - -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxsLsEACgkQ4v2HLvE71NXKYACdFUGNlqTTr9Wla+txM7IsZykm ES0An2DxRvqXq4C+q4/Uyuv6OM7XbsKg =dRjo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
