Yeah, I'd agree with Harald and Kevin in this case: 1.0-0.2.999 is a horrible version string, I wouldn't have recommended it even if it had been possible. This kind of situation really is the one in which it *is* correct to use Epoch - when upstream versioning goes backwards, and upstream cannot change it. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
