Glad to hear, that you are working on debian packes for xtla. Some ideas about the version number: * You could use the version number from Matthieu's repository * You could use the version number from my repository * You could use a date - wine does it that way: wine_0.0.20040615-1_i386.deb * Others? I'd prefer the date, because it has a meaning to everybody. -- Stefan.
