You are right. So to make it clear I want to change the 3.1 to, say, 8.1. > but since OBS guarantees that it only goes up...

So I want my new package to begin from foo-5.1-8.1 therefore it will automatically override the old package during an automatic upgrade. -- Best regards, Li, Yan MeeGo Team, Opensource Technology Center, SSG, Intel Office tel.: +86-10-5751-1695 (inet: 8-751-1695) OpenPGP key: 5C6C31EF IRC: yanli on network irc.freenode.net _______________________________________________ MeeGo-packaging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-packaging
