In the context of ELPA packages, I think there might be a need to
revisit how orgmode's version string is defined.
For example, 7.01h wouldn't be successfully parsed by (version-to-list
...) which the package manager uses internally.
So 7.01h could be mapped to 7.0.1.8 or 7.1.8.
Hi Jambunthan,
in what places would the version string have to be modified?
Do I need to change the org.el variable org-version, or the string in
the VERSION keyword in file headers, or where?

| version-to-list is a compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'.
|
| (version-to-list VER)
|
| Convert version string VER into an integer list.
|
| The version syntax is given by the following EBNF:
|
| VERSION ::= NUMBER ( SEPARATOR NUMBER )*.
|
| NUMBER ::= (0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9)+.
|
| SEPARATOR ::= `version-separator' (which see)
| | `version-regexp-alist' (which see).
|
| The NUMBER part is optional if SEPARATOR is a match for an element
| in `version-regexp-alist'.
|
| As an example of valid version syntax:
|
| 1.0pre2 1.0.7.5 22.8beta3 0.9alpha1 6.9.30Beta
|
| As an example of invalid version syntax:
|
| 1.0prepre2 1.0..7.5 22.8X3 alpha3.2 .5
|
| As an example of version convertion:
|
| String Version Integer List Version
| "1.0.7.5" (1 0 7 5)
| "1.0pre2" (1 0 -1 2)
| "1.0PRE2" (1 0 -1 2)
| "22.8beta3" (22 8 -2 3)
| "22.8Beta3" (22 8 -2 3)
| "0.9alpha1" (0 9 -3 1)
| "0.9AlphA1" (0 9 -3 1)
| "0.9alpha" (0 9 -3)

alist'.
