Is this wrong?
I'm afraid to say that a lot of packages I have do this. The reason
is that I develop and build packages on Rawhide, then backport them to
F-8. However when backporting to F-8 I have to bump the release
number up, typically because I have to add an ExcludeArch: ppc64[*]
for F-8, but may be because of other packing twiddling too.
I wasn't aware that there had to be a strict increase in package
numbering between branches. (In fact, I wasn't aware that Fedora even
allowed updating between Fedora releases).
When you do this backporting, add a release bump after the %{?dist}
instead of before it, e.g.:
ocaml-json-static-0.9.6-3.fc9
ocaml-json-static-0.9.6-3.fc8.1
This maintains the upgrade paths as intended.
Paul.
