I've been wondering how many distros and packagers would have an issue like this when we go to 2-digit release naming. Of course we knew everybody can grok 3-or-4 ;-) > In order to fix the syntax error, we replace any rcX with zero and > include some additional 'zero' padding to the version number list. > > Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > > Hi Junio, > > This patch is marked RFC because, as I was just about to send this > email, I realized it wouldn't always work: Yeah, and I suspect that with the use of $(wordlist 1,3,...) it is not even working for maintenance releases. Does it differenciate between 1.8.5.1 and 1.8.5.2, for example?. Or does "windres" always assume that a package version is always 3-dewey-decimal (not 2, not 4)? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
