Please let me know of your thoughts on > this topic. You could as well change the requirements for the alphanumeric part to make wheezy-backports-sloppy and jessie-backports version numbers sort higher than wheezy-backports ones from the start; something like Upload to | used version suffix ------------------------+----------------------- wheezy-backports | ~bpo70+1 wheezy-backports-sloppy | ~deb7+1 jessie-backports | ~deb8+1 Could that create confusion with security uploads? Does "bpo" mean something specific, or it just a contraction of "backport"? -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
