Hi Francesc, Would it be possible for you to consider using a more conventional package naming schema for beta/alpha/rc packages. It makes it a little more difficult for the downstream packagers. Conventionally, I believe, a beta package is listed as less then the milestone package number. So for instance instead of tables-2.2b1, something in like tables-2.1.9xxx could be used and not mess up the chronological order for package maintainers.
At least that's my preference and probably works for all package systems. Gentoo does allow a letter following a number. It also allows a suffix of _alpha, _beta, _pre, _rc, _P. Please see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap3 for a full description. As always Francesc thanks for pytables. ~Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
