Dear all:

Currently if we are working on say version 3.9.0 and we want to build
development version (i.e. from SVN/nightly), we would tag the SVN
revision number and our names to the RPMs built, eg. 3.9.0r4002_bli.

This causes an issue when the actual release comes about (3.9.0), you
will not be able to upgrade via RPM since 3.9.0r4002_bli is > 3.9.0.

Brian suggested that we do not increment the version until it is ready
for release, eg. if we are working on 3.9.1 release, then we will
build development releases as 3.9.0rXXXX until 3.9.1 is ready to be
tagged.

However, this will not work with 3.9.0, since we cannot go "back" as
3.8.x has a totally different meaning (even minor version is stable,
odd minor version is unstable).

Does anybody else have any comments/suggestions regarding this issue?

I would like to avoid using RPM's epoch if at all possible...

Cheers,

Bernard
