Source: developers-reference Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The Developer's reference explains a lot about NMUs and corresponding version scheme but it does not explain the naming convention to use when you have to revert an NMU that brings a new upstream version. Lintian has a check about it (https://lintian.debian.org/tags/epoch-changed- but-upstream-version-did-not-go-backwards.html), so it seems the format is wildly accepted. So maybe a not about it here would be a good thing. I took the liberty to provide a patch via a MR: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/developers-reference/merge_requests/4 Let me know if adding that paragraph would be ok and if the wording is correct. I'm not sure on how to handle the po files. Let me know if I can help on that too. Thanks Joseph
