Updates in MandrakeUpdate will always have a dotted revision number
now (like 1.1mdk) so that new cooker packages will *always* remain
newer. Due to the differences in spec files, I sometimes end up
building three separate packages for the same thing (ie. bind has
-1.1mdk, -1.2mdk, -1.3mdk). A -1mdk will appear in cooker (same as
the updates), but if changes are made, the next revision in cooker
would be -2mdk. If I did it the old-fashioned way with MU, there
would be -1mdk, -2mdk, -3mdk for the same thing meaning that 6.0
update of bind (-3mdk old way) would be higher than a newer bind in
cooker (which could be -2mdk). This way, updates has -1.3mdk so -2mdk
in cooker will always be higher.
Make sense? =)
