True, therefore it is prudent to use a local version that sorts before "lenny1", e.g. "custom1". > I think the correct way is to *append* to the version, not munge it: > > 1.2.3lenny1+local1 (I like to use + as separator) This will not work if the original version is 1.2.3, because 1.2.3+local1 > 1.2.3lenny1 (the version for potential security updates).
