-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Lot of people said: > What's wrong with using epochs?
epochs last forever, and most people consider them an ugly thing. Moreover, there is a paragraph in the policy saying that epochs are not for dealing with "pre" version numbers. If there is something to solve here, "2.0.7r" would be a better solution, IMHO, because at least it would allow us to get rid of both the epoch and the "r" thing in "2.0.8". But I believe that most of our users will agree that 2.0.7-1 is a much nicer version number than 2.0.7r-1 and would not mind to install a few packages by hand just *once*. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNY4k0yqK7IlOjMLFAQFzNAP/Z7SbBcHUvBUNLzdyCbsaqFKw7KfCKHuB VCSH9RpeXMCKJ3NpjyDzNztVnCpUD9QVsH1FjgITSDXwaNnCCj5BMyo2j1WYzRF4 p/3CUcDKR4IlWrTrbbaRSXieh6nY+DRTL6NMrhkRMzNoCzKPgOUt8EP6VkrhXoU0 MYOLHMD27Io= =yf/q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
