We have a product with versions like:

3.0.2-rc2
3.0.2.5 (for a customer version)

As I'm packaging these as RPM's, we've been trying to do:
%define major 3
%define minor 0
%define patchlevel 2
%define relnum rc2
...but is that going to confuse rpm? That is, is relnum going to be
compared numerically or as an ASCII string, or as something else?
How can we ensure that dev < rc2 < 5 for relnum? Do we need to come up
with a numbering scheme like "dev is 0-20, rc is 21-40, customer
versions are 41-60" etc?
Yes, converting everything to numbers is probably the most safe way.
Some project use something like 3.0.99.2 for 3.1-RC2.
How high can the numbers go?
Is a number like 8000 safe?
