I don't disagree, but if we're going to say that packagers should use alphanumeric versioning when there's a reasonable expectation that it will remain sanely ordered, we should at least give some thought as to what to recommend in the case that upstream decides to abandon sanity. Epochs are the default out here, I think. In some situations there may be other outs. In a related case I've advocated using a version like "1.2release" when a packager disliked Epoch:, ignored the guidelines, used a version like "1.2beta2", and got stuck. Not terribly pretty, but it only has to last until the next version bump whereas Epoch is forever. Anyway, I don't want to derail the discussion, and I agree with what's in the draft. We can add additional advice as necessary. - J< -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
