Source: acorn Version: acorn Severity: normal The versioning strategy that you are using for the package, and currently only reflected in experimental, results in versions like the following
6.2.1+ds+~0.4.0+~4.0.0+really4.0.0+~1.0.0+~5.0.1+ds+~1.7.0+ds+~0.1.1+~0.3.1+~0.2.0+~0.1.0+~0.3.0+~0.3.0-5 I guess each version component corresponds to one of the bundled libraries. Which is which, is not clear from the version string alone. Perhaps it corresponds perfectly to the order of the bundled packages in debian/control "provides". Perhaps it does not? Please reconsider your approach to the version string. This is not a useful scheme. No good can come from this. The super-long version string *will*, however, cause pain and problems for other Debian developers. It causes the display of package and versions in tabular form difficult or broken. It makes it impossible to reliably remember or re-type the version from memory. It's not useful from a dependency point-of-view, because a dependent package cannot specify a dependency on only the component they care about, so they would have to include the versions of the packages they don't care about too. That makes it no more useful than an invented single version triplet just for your bundle. Continuing to use this scheme will make people's lives harder. It's anti-social. Please do not upload any package with the current version scheme to sid. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- Jonathan Dowland -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
