_ is the separator between different name components: NAME_VERSION_ARCH.deb. - may appear everywhere in NAME, VERSION and ARCH. > Angus> Anyway, ATM we have a rather eclectic collection of different > Angus> naming schemes.

There are certain requirements in order to play nice with the packages provided by Debian and Ubuntu: - Nothing in NAME (before the first _) may be changed - VERSION should parse smaller as 1 according to the debian versioning rules. This is ensured by prepending a '0.' in front of it. This makes sure that as soon as real Debian packages become available (normally starting with revision 1) they are preferred. - The revision of the used .diff on the wiki (currently 3) should be included so that users can easily update packages when new ones become available.
