Package: blender Version: 2.63a-1 Severity: important Please don't change the versioning scheme, and don't use upstream version string "a", "b", etc. Old blender package for 2.49b used the package version "2.49.2" to avoid the upgrade issue.
Changelog of 2.49.2~dfsg-1 says: This is actually 2.49b, but using a "+dfsg" suffix breaks comparing 2.49+dfsg and 2.49b+dfsg. Use ".2" instead of "b" accordingly. And switch to using a "~dfsg" suffix. So, 2.63a should be translated into 2.63.1 for the same reason. In my PPA in Launchpad, I have maintained blender trunk package for Ubuntu and the package version uses "+svn" suffix like 2.63.1+svn49102-0irie1~precise1. Since Debian package system compares the versions as 2.63a+svn < 2.63+svn < 2.63.1+svn, if the official Debian/Ubuntu package uses the wrong versioning scheme such as 2.63a, I can no longer provide the trunk packages having a version suffix "+svn". -- IRIE Shinsuke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
