I was one of the council members to weigh in on this, and the quick |
| 16 |
improvement that I came up with, was going for a naming scheme like so: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
printf "_rc%d%04d%02d%02d",$RC,$YEAR,$MONTH,$DAY |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Set the date portions to zero in other builds. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Alternatively, follow the example of any ebuild that uses a dated |
| 23 |
patchset, and just have the date of the patchset in the ebuild, and only |
| 24 |
increment $PR singly. |
