Dear Colleagues:

I now realize I should have figured out the answer to this question earlier, but I did not.

I have a package (coot) whose most recent version is a pre-release. As it fixes a lot of bugs, and I am in almost daily contact with the author, we decided it was in good shape for fink.

The trouble is, the package is called coot_0.1.0-pre-1. When the non- pre-release 0.1.0 comes out, I'm either going to have to convince him to number it 0.1.1, or else figure out how to get around this:

dpkg --compare-versions 0.1.0-pre-1 gt 0.1.0 && echo "true"

true

In general, is there any way around this problem I accidently created? (The only thing I could think of was calling it 0.1.0-pre- N, where N is > the last pre-release number. That seems pretty ugly, and won't match the tarball.)

Thanks.

Bill Scott
