Personally, I would use the source package's version # in this case. The docs may be fairly version-dependent (i.e. openacs 4.0 may change a great deal of things, and openacs-docs 4.0 would document the new interfaces), so sharing version numbers makes it much clearer... On Mon, Jul 09, 2001 at 02

2001-07-08 Thread Eric Van Buggenhaut
Hi, I recently adopted openacs package. Upstream FTP site provides 2 packages : openacs-3.2.5.tar.gz and openacs-3.2.5-docs.tar.gz. How should I version-number the doc package ? Would openacs-docs_1.0 be OK or shoud I try to stick to binaries package version for now and the future ? Thanks. --
