Ok, then how about using something a bit easier to interpret visually.

2.0.2 1.00.02 is just too many dots

You're used to seeing your version numbers, but can you quickly and
easily tell me the order in which these versions were released?

2.7.8 5.15.18
2.8.0 1.01.99
2.7.9 1.02.98
2.8.0 0.02.15
2.7.7 9.99.99
2.8.0 0.30.11

Sure, it's doable like that, I just think that it's easier to see it like this:

2.7.8 51518
2.8.0 10199
2.7.9 10298
2.8.0 00215
2.7.7 99999
2.8.0 03011

especially when the first x.x.x is the same during the development process:

2.8.0 03512
2.8.0 05215
2.8.0 05115

Isn't that easier for you to see?

2.0.2 10002 is much easier to read IMHO.  2.0.2 is the base version
with 10002 essentially being the build.

Then when we're talking builds in this disucssion list, we could just
say 10002 and it's clear what we're talking about.

I'd still like to see devel or public listed, but if that's not
possible, so be it.

2.0.2 10002 dev

vs

2.0.1 10002 pub

It looks like assp.pl is already hard coded whether it's devel or not,
in determining which cvs to grab updates with.  Why not just have it
set dev/pub there and display it in the console.  And, it shouldn't be
hard for you to list dev/pub on sourceforge.

That's what I think.  Thanks for everything.
