<PRE>Le 26/07/2011 12:40, 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>
When it is used for prerelease (mainly in cauldron), the release 0 is 
usually associated with a svn or git rev. number, or date, or alpha, 
beta ... so it is not so much confusing with this use in update for 
official release.

&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>
We regularly used release 0 and subrel 1 in Mdv for the packages updated 
with the same version in official releases and in cooker (firefox, 
thunderbird, java-1.6.0-sun, ...), to be sure that the package from the 
official release will be updated by a update to the devel release or the 
next official release.

we often used in such packages:
%if %mandriva_branch == Cooker
# Cooker
%define release %mkrel 1
%else
# Old distros
%define subrel 1
%define release %mkrel 0
%endif

regards,
Luc
</PRE>
