I suppose the alternative would be 0.26.02.
I think the current practice is to follow 4-digit scheme when upstream uses it and later use version mangling (and cursing) when they are back to a 2-digit one, so your plan looks OK to me. > I'll be using 0.2602 for upcoming RC1 packages targetted for > experimental, let me know if you have better suggestions. > > In any case, this package should be updated or it will be obsoleted > when 5.10.1 gets in sid. True. And currently this is not bad, as the changes between 2602 and 2603 are (thanks, jawnsy): + Fix INSTALLDIRS setting for older Perls (RT#47895) + Fix to a test file + Fixes for VM i.e. not relevant to Debian so it appears we don't need the separate package once the core package is upgraded. -- dam
