------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 28 14:42:42 -0800 2005 ------- Release candidates for OOo 2.0.1 had version numbers of 2.0.1-<some number>. When it was released, the version number became 2.0.1-1. This confuses package managers, which consider the change to be a downgrade. Proposed solution: Rename the stable release packages with higher numbers than any of the release candidates. All of the packages in the release should have this new higher release number, e.g. 2.0.1-500. This would be a higher number than any release candidate packages, but would allow for later revision numbers in case bug-fix releases are required (e.g. 2. 0.1-501). Package managers and system administrators (who may not be intimately familiar with OOo version numbering) could easily follow the correct upgrade path from release candidates to stable releases, bug-fix releases, and next- version releases. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
