As a (downstream) packager I have some questions:
a) pigeonhole is called a working title - will the final release
be called something else like dovecot-sieve again?
Well, I was a bit uncertain about the name. People who don't know what a
pigeonhole is or what the verb means (especially the Dutch), sometimes
have `interesting' associations with that name. I am quite confident
though that this name is the definitive one. I'll adjust the website
accordingly.
b) The versioning seems to go from 0.1.15 to 0.1.13. From a packager's
POV it would be better to allow a natural version upgrade
path. Perhaps the version in hg is just not updated?
The reason for these questions/clarifications are that Angel and I are
packaging dovecot 2.x betas and matching sieve plugins for allowing
more people to a broader testing before the projects go gold. We'd
like to have proper naming and versioning in place already for the
beta packages.
The Pigeonhole project is not released for v2.0 yet, so there is no
version for v2.0. Current plans are to call name the packages
dovecot-2.0-pigeonhole-0.2.0. However, this versioning scheme is not
ideal, so ideas are welcome.

Stephan.
