I thought of a few schemes: > > erlang-zlib-YYYY-MM-DD > erlang-zlib-0.0.YYYY-MM-DD Neither of these: we have rules for date stamping and they use YYYYMMDD, not YYYY-MM-DD. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages I'd probably go with erlang-zlib-0-1.YYYYMMDDgitCOMMIT where the 0 is the 'release', and 1 is the revision. You could also go with erlang-zlib-0-0.1.YYYYMMDDgitCOMMIT , using the pre-release snapshot style, to be super conservative. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
