Hello Matt! > 5.70_01 IS A DEV RELEASE. So you don't want to be packaging it anyway.
Non really (with Gentoo, at least). I package the DEV releases of Catalyst and DBIx::Class with the ~arch keyword, so that a user doesn't get the automatic upgrade to those versions unless he explicitly configures /etc/package.keywords for that. I think packages for DEV releases are useful, because who wants to test them can do that while keeping his system clean by still using the package manager. Moreover, creating a Gentoo ebuild requires 30 seconds or so. ;-) However, it really depends on how the package system works: with the "~arch" thing provided by Gentoo package system this is OK, but I don't know much about how it works with dpkg, rpm, and other package managers. Version numbers are a bit of a problem (not great, though) when packaging development releases. I found out that - with Gentoo Portage - the best versioning system is the one used by DBIx::Class DEV releases (0.x999_nn, which I translate to 0.x999.nn for ebuilds).
