Is icu-1.7-0.pre.20001012 an okay version name?

2000-10-12 Thread Yves Arrouye
In my quest to figure out how to number a prerelease package for ICU that will be upgraded by icu-1.7-1 (final release), I came up with names like: 1.7.0.pre.20001012 which work w/ dpkg version comparison but also mean that the Debian revision is non-numeric, as it is 0.pre.20001012. Is

Where can I find the documentation sections for doc-base?

2000-10-12 Thread Yves Arrouye
