In general, using four numbers or three is a matter of personal preference and either is specifically allowed in Debian Policy. The fourth revision number is supposed to be only for non-normative changes, and hence the argument is that it's not useful information for package control files. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
