Daniel and friends,
While all this moaning is going on--
I present a scenario for your consideration.
Perhaps the version numbering could be modified to something like:
OpenSA-X.X.X.ext
Where
OpenSA- is fixed prefix.
X.X.X[a||b]. is
First X: Major rev. That is major change in package as the OpenSA team
chooses to bundle it. Say Mod_Perl were to be added, this would warrant a
"major" version rev.
Second X: Package update. Any time a rebuild is made when Apache, PHP, or
SSL componets undergoe an update, but not large enough update to consider
a major architectural change in the OpenSA package. Say Apache goes from
1.3.11 to 1.3.12, this would warrant a package rev.
Third X: This would be a change to the (bundled)documentation but not the
packages.
the [a||b] would be: add an 'a' on the end for alpha, 'b' on the end for
beta, but you'd never have both. (of course)
the .ext would be whatever extension is required for the image package.
.zip/.exe/.whatever
Final thoughts-- Somewhere you have to account for the setup utility
fixes, I would think that as a "package update" so it would increment the
second number.
The way I see it now OpenSA is a conglomeration of
Setup Utility
Apache httpd
PHP
mod_ssl
OpenSSL
I'm not sure if you are grabbing the OpenSWISH source package (if there is
such a thing) I don't know.
or if OpenSSL includes mod_ssl inherently.
But, using .20 as the version number and a date is akin to saying,
"Well I don't know what version I have, but its Windows95. I installed it
last week. That makes it the latest version doesn't it?"
When in reality, they installed Windows95 .950 (not 950B) from a cd that
they had in their drawer.
Using this version number scheme may result in clearer emails and support
scenarios.
