A valid explanation. Although it is listed as "1.02g.mrlg" on https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/base/deltree or https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/pkg-html/deltree.html I'm undecided. So it is now what it is. >> So, this (+svardos+ISO date) is now the official way? > > I would propose a few slight changes to make things simpler: > - drop the "+svardos" part > - replace ISO date by a single number (the "SvarDOS package revision") > - The SvarDOS pkg rev restarts whenever the upstream version changes > - The SvarDOS pkg rev of 0 is hidden > > All this actually mimics what Debian does*.

Yes, sounds right, but a minor request: Also allow ~ (tilde) instead of + (plus). There might be a package with a plus sign already as part of the "normal" version number somewhere. So + is the preferred sign, but ~ can be used as an alias, if required. By the way: As you can see on https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.2/repos/pkg-html/deltree.html FreeDOS uses "(rev A)" sometimes, but at least for me, that's not clear enough. The "rev A" might still be part of the "normal" version number. >> By the way: Nice to see progress on SvarCOM. :-) > > Yeah, was stuck for a week or so on a problem that I wasn't sure how to > solve in an elegant way (cleanup of temporary files used for pipes).
