When you say letters do you mean [a-zA-Z] or do you allow Unicode letters as well? Also, it was a little bit interesting to me that the version only allows numbers as the versions of our core apps are not doing that currently. I'm fine with that restriction, but it's very "non-Debian" way of doing versions. Does anyone see an issue with loosing things like "+devbranch14" ? Ted
