Adam, For the time being, I would stick with the bzr version number. Except for my major faux pas a while back which munged up the sequence by 1, it makes it easier for users when reporting bugs since we still have issues getting folks to copy the version info from the clipboard. I would use bzr.rxxxx or rxxxx.bzr which ever plays nicer with the dpkg version parser. When and if we ever convert to another VCS, we can address the issue at that point. As long as the importer for said VCS works correctly, the version information should be preserved. We didn't loose anything on the transition from Subversion to Bazaar so I think your pretty safe using the bzr version. Are you planning to build your packages with the GitHub plugin enabled? It would be nice to get a few more users testing it and more folks contributing high quality footprints. Thank you for all of your hard work.
