</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 > 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 < 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 :)
