Hi! I've just uploaded a git snapshot to Debian, but I found the current git-version-gen output, as setup in configure.ac, to be problematic.
See this transcript: # Up-to-date master, current Debian snapshot $ git describe inetutils-1_9_1_100-18-gbbc1c28 $ build-aux/git-version-gen .tarball-vesion 's/inetutils-/v/;s/_/./g'; echo 1.9.1.100.18-bbc1 # Rewind to the previous Debian snapshot $ git checkout 0a482 $ git describe inetutils-1_9_1-306-g0a482ca $ build-aux/git-version-gen .tarball-vesion 's/inetutils-/v/;s/_/./g'; echo 1.9.1.306-0a482 As you can see, the version has gone back from 1.9.1.306-0a482 to 1.9.1.100.18-bbc1, which sorts lower. I had to locally remove the inetutils-1_9_1_100 tag to preserve the sort order in the generated snapshot for Debian (resulting in version 1.9.1.363-bbc1). Thanks, Guillem
