Hi, I am working on providing new upstream releases in Debian of sphinxbase and sphinxtrain. However, the upstream version looks weird to me, and I wonder if it is smart to just take it over. I won't like it if the next upstream version requires us to add an epoch.
Current versions: sphinxbase 0.8+5prealpha sphinxtrain 1.0.8+5prealpha New versions: both 5prealpha Luckily, 5prealpha sorts below 5.0 Debian version wise, but not below 5 (without a decimal point). paul@testavoira ~ $ dpkg --compare-versions 5prealpha lt 5 && echo 1 paul@testavoira ~ $ dpkg --compare-versions 5prealpha lt 5. && echo 1 1 paul@testavoira ~ $ dpkg --compare-versions 5prealpha lt 5.0 && echo 1 1 I could mangle the upstream version to 5~prealpha, but I don't think it is worth it, and also I am not sure if that is what upstream intended (jumping from 0.8/1.0 to 5). Does anybody have advise and/or an opinion on this? Paul
