Hey folks, I've REJECT'ed this package. The version number still has a dash in it. To quote policy:
This part of the version number specifies the version of the Debian package based on the upstream version. It may contain only alphanumerics and the characters + . ~ (plus, full stop, tilde) and is compared in the same way as the upstream_version is. It is optional; if it isn't present then the upstream_version may not contain a hyphen. This format represents the case where a piece of software was written specifically to be a Debian package, where the Debian package source must always be identical to the pristine source and therefore no revision indication is required. It is conventional to restart the debian_revision at 1 each time the upstream_version is increased. The package management system will break the version number apart at the last hyphen in the string (if there is one) to determine the upstream_version and debian_revision. The absence of a debian_revision is equivalent to a debian_revision of 0. This package makes the upstream version contain a dash, which is a policy violation. I understand that you were trying to avoid a version bump, but it can't work like that ;) Cheers, Paul === Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our concerns. _______________________________________________ Pkg-tcltk-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-tcltk-devel
