When we now start to upload branched packages to lenny and unstable, what version number scheme should we use?
I suggest we use X.YYY~edu.lenny+Z for the packages brached off from version X.YYY to go into lenny, and X.YYY for the packages we upload to unstable. For every new package we upload into unstable, we increase YYY by one, and for every new package we upload into lenny we increase Z by one. This should give us version numbers following the policy on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ArchivePolicy>, and ensure that X.YYY version uploaded to unstable will have higher version numbers than the packages uploaded to lenny. When changes are merged from the squeeze branch to the lenny branch, we update the X.YYY part as well if all the changes from the squeeze branch were merged into the lenny branch. Anyone got a better idea? Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
