It means, that the Debian packages always have to have a different numbering scheme than upstream. Currently, Debian uses a trick called "epoch", but this is not meant to be incremented with every new release. dpkg does not understand the floating point numbering scheme :~( What about RPM? Does it work better in that respect? Would you consider counting from 0.32 up from now on? That would make the life of Debian/Ubuntu packagers easier. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
