Hi all,

I'm trying pass tightvnc package through package review but I've been
informed that I don't meet package naming guidelines.


I am doing the review, so I will try to explain.

Source is pulled from upstream svn so I used this Revision tag and
.tar.bz2 name:

tightvnc-1.5.0-0.4.svn2975%{?dist}
tightvnc-1.5.0-svn2975.tar.bz2

Point where source was taken from upstream VCS is absolutely clear -
it was revision 2975 but packaging guidelines says that I have to use
date (something like 20081008svn or 20081008svn2975):

20081008svn2975 is preferred here

It doesn't make much sense to put both date and svn revision into the tag. Use one or the other. For CVS, the date is the only option of course. Most of the svn snapshots packages we have right now only use the revision number, which in the case of svn is more accurate than the snapshot date.

Mabye the FPC can revisit this if the wiki page is confusing...
