So you get: Package: foo Version: 1.2-2 Build-Version: 199912111340 The build-version is the current date in UTC in general. This prevents the need for finding some way to get a new versionnumber. > So, could something to this effect be applied to dpkg soonish, please? I have a whole slew of changes I want to make to the various formats (.changes, .dsc and .deb). However I don't want to make them in potato this close to the freeze, so I'm polishing them up a bit and do them all in woody.
