Yep. > What is the difference between ".dfsg", "-dfsg" and "+dfsg" suffixes ? With or > without the "-" character after "dfsg" ? Sorting. 1.2.dfsg sorts after 1.2.1 but 1.2+dfsg/1.2-dfsg/1.2dfsg sort before 1.2.1. See dpkg --compare-versions and debian-policy. > The only reason I see that could be invoked to drop, or 0.2dfsg1-2 or similar > "*~" files is the archive > size, I'm not sure it is justifiable for a 50 KB archive...

If you bump the upstream version (by appending dfsg1 or similar) that means a new upstream tarball. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
