Hi, I wanted to start my own little project and wanted some feedback from the community who've had much dealings with versioning. My plan is to use a versioning system similar to most (digits separated by a dot character) with each successive number being less significant. The only change in semantics is that the most minor number would be interpreted as 0 = Alpha 1 = Beta 3+ = Stable I thought this might be a better way of dealing with projects which transition to a greater major number. Systems which use .99+ to designate "almost next major" aren't easy to test as the next major version (since the computer parses the major version and sees the previous major version. Some systems increase the major and tack on the word "alpha" or "beta" ... which screws up the computer's sorting mechanism (is alpha > 0?) My question is: will there be any problems with packaging systems like rpm and yum using such a scheme? -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
