Nah, I'm talking about epochs. When a package wishes to reversion itself, changing how it does versioning. For instance, nova is going to go from 2015.1.1 to 12.0.0, so 2015.n.x is epoch 1, and 12.y.z is epoch 2. Think of it like super versioning. http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#version-epochs has a nice summary. -- -- Matthew Thode (prometheanfire)
