Re: Summary[2]: dpkg and alpha/beta versioning
Hi,
Well, if we are to use ~ as a the symbol that compares
lower than everything; please do not change how debian revisions are
separated from the upstream version(split at the last hyphen); Also,
consider allowing a ~ to be in either the Debian revision and/or the
upstream version. Therefore, ~ becomes an valid character in
upstream versions and debian revions(with special sort semantics),
but everything else in ch 5 of the packaging manual holds.
