-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/file-format/index.html#file-naming-rules it seems to me the versioning is focused on package stability life cycle. In netbeans case it is _prealpha and definitely not stable patched release. So _alpha is the closest one to current netbeans 6.0 life cycle phase, though not accurate.
