No, I mean what I had written, namely to use an underscore as |
| 10 |
separator, i.e., "_live". But when the version is just "live" alone, |
| 11 |
one would suppress the underscore for aesthetic reasons, i.e. instead |
| 12 |
of "foo-1a-_live" it would be "foo-1a-live". |

Everything is easy, if you keep the following rule in mind: |

See above, it automatically avoids any ambiguities in splitting P into |
| 38 |
PN and PV. And look at function "pkgsplit" in Portage: It can just |
| 39 |
treat PV as an opaque string. |

What would be the advantage to use a hyphen instead of an underscore? |
