Currently, the 'Release' tag in our RPM spec file always start with 1.

What we could do is with pre-releases, instead of 1, use 0 and also
append the SVN revision to this tag rather than to the version, so
instead of:

1.2.3.svn1234-1

it becomes

1.2.3-0.svn1234

so when 1.2.3-1 is released, we can upgrade.

Just another idea -- but I guess I have no issues with the current
scheme -- depends which one people prefer...

Cheers,

Bernard
