This is my testing repo; release candidates don't go in my release repo (which is still empty, as I'm still learning how to package and need someone to test it). Do I have to wait six hours before uploading 0.5.1? I am upstream; this is a program I'm writing. > For next time, 0.5.1rc3-3 should have been spelled 0.5.1~rc3-3 instead, > and then the ordering would work properly. Does this ordering hold in pkg, pkgsrc, and other package managers? Should I number release candidates that way when I tag them?
