Subject: [gentoo-dev] Naming scheme confusion

1 Hi all,
2
3 In attempting to solve bug #29937 [1] I would like to add a CVS snapshot
4 of the current net-wireless/orinoco driver - but I am faced with a
5 problem trying to come up with a proper naming scheme for this new
6 ebuild.
7
8 The current ebuild is orinoco-0.15_rc2-r2.ebuild, and the logical name
9 for a CVS snapshot would, as I see it, be
10 orinoco-0.15_rc2_pre20050516.ebuild, but mixing _rcX and _preY is not
11 allowed by portage.
12
13 I can't go with just orinoco-0.15_pre20050516.ebuild as _rcX is
14 considered newer than _preY.
15
16 I guess I could go with a simple -rX bump, but that wouldn't really
17 reflect what the ebuild is - and I'd hate to have to add either a live
18 CVS ebuild or a brand new net-wireless/orinoco-usb ebuild, since that
19 would duplicate functionality, add unnecessary blocking etc.
20
21 Ideas for a better solution to this will be most welcome.
22
23 Sincerely,
24 Brix
