Nah, I'm talking about epochs. When a package wishes to reversion |
14 |
itself, changing how it does versioning. |

For instance, nova is going to go from 2015.1.1 to 12.0.0, so 2015.n.x |
17 |
is epoch 1, and 12.y.z is epoch 2. Think of it like super versioning. |

http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#version-epochs has a nice |

summary. |
