Hello all, This may be a simple thing that has been solved many times before, but I am apparently being stupid about it. I am packaging the newest release of one of my packages, and I am having some trouble ensuring upgradeability. The version for this release is 0.70-rc, and upstream says the next release will be 0.70. The obvious problem is: steve@gashuffer:~$ dpkg --compare-versions 0.70-rc-1 lt 0.70-1 && echo yes steve@gashuffer:~$ That won't upgrade, so I need some hack to do it. I could go with something like 0.70-0rc1, but then I have to change the name of the upstream tarball as well to a version that it really isn't, correct? Anybody already faced this problem and come up with a reasonable solution? Thanks in advance, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
