Just another nut: being an unofficial archive, it's better to define
a rigorous convention for version numbering in order to not break
things for official archives. I would propose a schema like (e.g. for grass):
5.7.0-X.dgis.stable.Y
5.7.0-X.dgis.testing.Y
5.7.0-X.dgis.unstable.Y
so that all versions are correctly ordered by distribution and
X,Y subversioning do ensure compatibility with regular debian archive.
X generally will start from 0 (so that an official -1 upload will result always
a subsequent version) and Y will start from 1. Generally
we would release with X equal to the version
already (eventually) present in debian archives for the selected
distribution and package. X will be 0 only for new upstream releases not
yet present in the main archive. I hope the schema is clear.
Comments?
