Fedora.us' vepoch concept, which means to move the most significant part of %version-%release into the release tag and place any less significant portions to the right of it, e.g.: fontforge-0.0-2.20050310.fc4.i386.rpm ^ http_ping-0.0-3.20020403.i386.rpm ^ libuninameslist-0.0-3.040707.i386.rpm ^ openal-0.0-0.3.20040726.i386.rpm ^^^ Don't use 0.0.`date` as it would be larger than 0.0.1, which could be the first release of a program. Instead, move the snapshot date into the release tag. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
