Bug#446699: debcommit uses debian_version_ for git tags
also sprach Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007.10.14.2359 +0100]: I think it must be accidental that debcommit uses debian_version_ in the name of git tags it creates. It does that for CVS because CVS has limitations on tag names that require it not start with a number (IIRC). But for svn and other vcses, it just uses the debian version number as the tag, and I think it should do it for git too. I plan to change it to do that, unless someone has a reason for the current behavior.. Please consider using debian/$version. Git does allow hierarchical namespaces. -- .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems digital_signature_gpg.asc Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/)

What about native packages, I don't think it makes much sense to put the tags in debian/ for those. I did think about making it configurable, but that seems to be the _worst_ choice. There's value in consistency here. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I don't know if it's the most common. What about native packages, I don't think it makes much sense to put the tags in debian/ for those. Why not? Someone else might actually clone our native packages into a, say, Fedora repo, so we're keeping the namespace clean.
