Hi Zack, |
5 |
|
6 |
the ebuild version numbers are the same as the version numbers of the |
7 |
packages, unless there is a gentoo specific revision number attached. |
8 |
The gentoo revision number would be a "-r" followed by a number at the |
9 |
end of the version number, such as emacspeak-25-r2. |
10 |
|
11 |
Is that the thing that was confusing you about our ebuild version |
12 |
numbers? |
13 |
|
14 |
Thanks, |
15 |
|
16 |
William |
