+<PRE>Le mardi 26 juillet 2011 12:40:02, Michael Scherer a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> while trying to work on the queue of update needing a push, I noticed
+</I>&gt;<i> that almost all of them use a &quot;Release: 0&quot;.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Since this has a specific meaning ( ie, used for pre release, or svn
+</I>&gt;<i> snapshot ), using this for updates is quite confusing, and I do not see
+</I>&gt;<i> the reason for that.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If the goal is to be sure that the software is still upgradable, the
+</I>&gt;<i> whole %mkrel stuff should take care of that. And if not, we can rebuild
+</I>&gt;<i> in cauldron to increase the release.
+</I>
+The goal is indeed to make sure the software is still upgradable. Until now,
+in Mandriva and we followed the same way in Mageia, the rule has been :
+
+* if version is the same, just increase subrel
+* if the update is a new version, put release 0 and subrel 1, then increase
+subrel in subsequent updates concerning the same version
+
+If %mkrel could take care of that, that would be good, but for now this is not
+the case, unless I'm mistaken :
+
+[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">sam at localhost</A> mga]$ rpmdev-vercmp 1.6.17-1.1.mga1.i586 1.6.17-1.mga2.i586
+1.6.17-1.1.mga1.i586 &gt; 1.6.17-1.mga2.i586
+
+whereas :
+
+[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">sam at localhost</A> mga]$ rpmdev-vercmp 1.6.17-0.1.mga1.i586 1.6.17-1.mga2.i586
+1.6.17-0.1.mga1.i586 &lt; 1.6.17-1.mga2.i586
+
+So, yes, it would be good if %mkrel would take care of that, but AFAIK it
+requires development. Would 1.6.17-mga1.1.1.i586 instead of
+1.6.17-1.1.mga1.i586 be a solution so that the distrelease tag has higher
+precedence than the numbers ?
+
+If I'm forgetting something important that invalidates what I'm saying, just
+let me know, it will just improve my understanding of RPM versioning :)
+
+Best regards
