Bug#709218: developers-reference: adjust versioning convention note for security updates
Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.10
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi
In #685646 the advise for versioning for {stable,testing}{,-security}
uploads was adjusted. In [1] there is a missing bit for it refering to
the older convention +codename1. I tried to address this change in
attached patch.

--compare-versions</literal>. Be careful not to re-use a version number that
you have already used for a previous upload, or one that conflicts with a
binNMU. The convention is to append
-<literal>+</literal><replaceable>codename</replaceable><literal>1</literal>, e.g.
-<literal>1:2.4.3-4+lenny1</literal>, of course increasing 1 for any subsequent
+<literal>+deb</literal><replaceable>X</replaceable><literal>u1</literal> (where
+<replaceable>X</replaceable> is the major release number), e.g.
+<literal>1:2.4.3-4+deb7u1</literal>, of course increasing 1 for any subsequent
uploads.
