Probably both of them are maintained by the same person. What will happen if Debian finds a bug in the packaging and rebuilds the package as foo-3.80-2.deb? Will upstream release a new foo-3.80-2.tar.gz? How will the tar archives differ? Does the upstream bundle `debian' directory with patches in the tar archive? Are these patches applied automatically by the build script? Maybe you could completely ignore the `-1' upstream mantra. -- Petr -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
