Hi,
I started uploading stuff to our ubuntu-mobile ppa (hildon-desktop) and
back then I thought using <hardy version> + "~um" + number was a good
idea (e.g. hildon-desktop 1:0.0.43-1ubuntu1 from hardy became
1:0.0.43-1ubuntu1~um1) for our gutsy ppa. However now that I need to
upload to the ubuntu-mobile *hardy* ppa, I realize it's not ideal.
I looked into what other projects were doing and one example for this
is backports.org where people append "~bpo" + Debian version (without
the dot); for example clamav 0.91-2 backported from Debian gives:
0.91.2-1~bpo31+1 | sarge-backports
0.91.2-1~bpo40+2 | etch-backports
(3.1 is Debian sarge and 4.0 Debian etch)
This keeps the version short in the case of Debian; in our case it's
one more digit, but I think that's ok. So I suggest we start using:
<original version> "~" <ppa> <target release version> "+" <revision>
So package foo with version bar4ubuntu2 would have versions:
bar4ubuntu2~lool710+3 third upload to my gutsy ppa
bar4ubuntu2~lool804+1 first upload to my hardy ppa
bar4ubuntu2~um710+1 first upload to the ubuntu-mobile gutsy ppa
Comments welcome,
