I'm packaging a snapshot of XTide, version 2.2dev dated 1999/10/17. The date matters because the dev version may change without changing version number before 2.2 is released.
I can't call it xtide_2.2dev19991017-1 because upgrades won't work when I later package xtide_2.2-1 (unless I use epochs then). I wish the default epoch was `1', that way I could use `0' now and it would work. What's the best I can do? xtide_2.1.99dev19991017-1 e.g 2.1.99 < 2.2 Any better ideas? Thanks again (3rd question today!) Peter
