/me votes for 1.5.1.1!
I'll go with that.
But it should definitely not be named 1.5.11.
Guys...
A version called "1.5.1.1" is not possible given the current
programming of MacPorts base. Currently, we have a floating-point
number as our version number. MacPorts 1.5.0 was internally 1.500.
MacPorts 1.5.1 is internally 1.510.
"1.5.11" is meant to be read like "1.5.1.1", but it confuses me
too. We could change the programming to print 1.5.1.1, I suppose.
That might be the most sane thing to do. Or, the easiest thing to
do right now, given that we want to release ASAP.
I wish MacPorts version numbers weren't just a floating-point
number, but they are.
Then do 1.5.2. There's nothing wrong with using this number.
If we reach 1.5.9 and need to release 1.5.10, then we'll need to
patch some code. But until then, we're fine. Our track record isn't
to even get past 1.x.2, IIRC.
