I'm working on fixing that now. I'm less certain that your version number is correct. This isn't a particularly well-standardized part of Debian, but the convention is that using a period in the Debian revision indicates an NMU. My understanding is that backports.org recommends using a period in their Debian revision precisely because such backports are often NMUs. Usually, that version is written -3etch1 rather than -3.etch.1. (If it isn't an NMU, how would you version an NMU? -3.etch.1.1? And how could someone know from the version whether it was an NMU?) I'm willing to be convinced, though. What do you think of the above argument? -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
