If there has been no "stable" release with a version number, then something like 20070112svn is what I would use for the upstream version. Personally, I would stay away from using rev numbers since they are meaningless to anyone not intimately familiar with development of that package. For something that has had stable releases and you are packaging snapshots between releases, I would do something 1.1.15~20070112svn for the upstream version. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
