We felt the plus sign is less ambiguous.
That would be the correct way and done by a lot of projects. The now additional tag -rc2-dev makes it more difficult for distributions to determine if a new version is available. -rc2* is greater as -rc1 and I'd need to tune the watch file again in Debian we use (and it's already a bit more complicated due the dfsg + rc part). The added tag -rc2-dev solves nothing and shouldn't be used in future situations. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
