In order to ensure that they sort properly, I recommend ordering it slightly differently, e.g.: bar4ubuntu2~710lool3 or similar. That way all 8.04 versions are greater than all 7.10 versions, whereas in your example they are ordered based on the name of the PPA. You could also use Ubuntu code names in place of version numbers if you prefer (since they sort properly). Ubuntu-backports uses a similar scheme. -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
