Running 'grep "Version" *.afm' tells me that there are all files with Version == 1.0, except two of them (which have Version > If you worry about upstream versioning sanity, then stick with > Version: 0 > and follow the snapshot versioning guidelines. > > > There's also one more option, and that is to base the package on > upstream's > > git repository and the snapshot scheme, because we would be using > snapshot > > string in the package name anyway.

( http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697390) And yes, what Douhlas wrote is correct (about the 35 fonts), and I will have that noted in the %description section. Anyway, since determining the Version field is still unclear, I think the most sense to me right now is to proceed with option 2) - IOW - to bypass the versioning from URW++ completely, and have Version field based on snapshot string, in a way: X.Y.Z == YYYY.MM.DD Or do you some problem with this approach?
