We don't have this problem currently because 1.0-1etch1 << 1.0-1lenny1, but we will again at some point in the future, and it would be nice to resolve it once and for all. Using something based on the Debian release version has the advantage that the version always increases from release to release. The code names bounce all over the place in version sorting space. And the original problem that sparked this thread is that devscripts is now using 1.0+nmu1 for NMUs of native packages and we're trying to figure out what version number should be used for security and/or stable uploads of native packages so that they sort properly. It would be nice if we could use the same convention for both native and non-native packages. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
