I think the correct way is to *append* to the version, not munge it: 1.2.3lenny1+local1 (I like to use + as separator) That way 1.2.3lenny2 will be higher than my version. Check out 'dch', especially the '--local' option. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
