Hi,
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/ArchivePolicy currently says:
6. The version number for the packages debian-edu, debian-edu-config and
debian-edu-install should be of the form 0.415.0.edu.etch.1+svn38891 when
uploading to the debian-edu repository, and on the form 0.415 when uploading
to the debian repository.
As we now have the new dak version running, I suggest we change this, to make
use of the ~ in versions. To summarize this:
<vagrantc> ~ just means "a little before"
<vagrantc> so -3~* will always be smaller than -3
So I suggest to rewrite it to:
--------------
6. The version number for the packages uploaded to debian-edu should always be
lower than the version in Debian (if the source packages content is identical
except for the changelog). This should be achieved by using ~ in version
numbers, adding ~edu.etch+1 for uploads to etch and ~edu.lenny+1 for uploads
to lenny.
As ~ can be used more than once, svn versions should be written as
0.415~svn38891-1 (for debian) and 0.415~svn38891-1~edu.lenny+1 (for
debian-edu lenny).
--------------
Comments?
I think it's a good idea. More logical (in my mind), to keep the major
part of the version number identical in local and debian.
We should also rewrite pkt 5 to take the new versioning scheme into
account.
for example..
We recommend to use specific version strings for our backports so if you
have a debian revision number -1 you should use -1~edu.suite+1, where
"suite" is for instance "sarge" or later "etch".
Kind regards
