Comment (by jhpalmieri):
Some data: if I just split on the first hyphen, I think the only packages
where the versions come out differently are
{{{
database_jones_numfield-v4 is 'v4' the version number?
database_stein_watkins_mini already fixed
mayavi_2.2.1 is it mayavi, v 2.2.1, or mayavi_2.2.1, no
version?
reallib3-linux-20060728 is 'linux' part of the version number?
}}}
The Jones database hasn't been updated since 2007, MayaVi2 hasn't been
updated since 2008, and reallib3-linux-20060728 since 2006. Based on this,
I find Jeroen's argument more convincing. (I mean, I find the argument for
consistency in version-checking convincing to start with, and the fact
that there are only a few old exceptions makes Nathann's counterargument
less persuasive.)
There is a separate issue that the servers seem to be a mess. Moving
packages from old-style to new-style will help make that less of a
problem.
