[0] Thanks for the input Dave. I didn't see that part since I was specifically looking for how epochs are denoted. I still am quite certain that we have no choice but to use the proper versioning tools upstream though and that means using ! to indicate the epoch in our version strings because these are fundamentally Python packages. > >Therefore, these distro's would need to increment the distro epoch if the >upstream version (without the upstream epoch) is lower than the version >currently in their archives. >I am not sure how rpm based distro's handle '!' in the upstream version. In other words, if Debian/Ubuntu currently have Glance versioned: 1:2015.1.0 They'll be doing 2:8.0.0 For Liberty? -- Ian __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
