Re: PW#5-15: Package versions based on dates



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I agree that the proposed text is better than nothing, but it is still too
weak.

Even if we keep upstream source numbers untouched, it would be a good
thing to encourage upstream authors to use YYYY-MM-DD because it
is an ISO standard for dates.

Therefore we should consider "foo version number is not yyyy-mm-dd"  as a
legitimate bug (wishlist type, if we want), that should be forwarded
upstream as a suggestion to upstream authors.

Moreover, I think we should use the standard for *all* our own packages.

Thanks.
