Versioning for cherry picked after-freeze RC fixing packages
Hi,
I'm searching a procedure for the following case:
1) against one my packages (it's Deap), currently a "-3" in Testing, a
RC critical bug has been filed
2) the fix for that bug is already available together with other further
developments as "-4" in the SVN repo, I am collecting improvements for a
future package there,
3) but only RC critical bug fixes are accepted into Testing now, so I
thought about creating a package "-4" which only contains the bug fix,
and push the other changes into "-5" in the changelog, that's easy,
4) but then, I cannot tag the "-4" anywhere because the SVN commit
history doesn't match the changelog,
5) I was thinking about creating a minor version number "-3.1" for the
RC bug fix, but that's preserved for NMU (Lintian complaint), which it isn't
Any experiences how to proceed? It's going to be sponsored anyway,
asking the sponsor or the release team to just upload a NMU "-3.1"?
Greetings,
Daniel Stender
