The tag version is used for the source tarballs. They are used by distro packagers. They do not like letters in the version. The letters work well for alpha/beta/rc because the alphabetical order is correct. But how to name the final build? 3.4.0 is considered as an older version than 3.4.0rc1 by rpm. We do not want to keep rc in the final build because it confuses users. >From my point of view. Only developers and packagers take care of the tag name. The current naming scheme is pretty clear for developers and useful for packagers, so I vote to keep it ;-) Best Regards, Petr _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
