Hello, As others pointed you can use 29618 as a version number and add an epoch when upstream switch to a "classic" scheme. There's also another way to do it, which is to use 0~29618 which compares as less than 0. So, if upstream releases say 0.3, you can switch to this version without bumping the epoch. Personally I think this is better since you can release svn releases or numbered releases (if any) at any moment without ever touching the epoch. These versions are all in order: - 0~29618 - 0~31293 - 0.3 (first numbered release) - 0.3+36932 - 0.4 Cheers -- Etienne Millon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
