Package version naming

2020-05-18 Thread Robin Hansson
Hello Ubuntu Developers, I wonder what the meaning is of of the package naming like ghc 8.8.1+dfsg1+is+8.6.5+dfsg1-3 When running "ghc --version" it says "version 8.6.5". Does the initial "8.8.1" mean some stuff from 8.8.1 is back-ported? What about "dfsg1" and " dfsg1-3" ? Best, Robin --
