Hi all; |
2 |
|
3 |
Is there some recommended way to deal with version #'s that have letters |
4 |
embedded in them? I know that ebuild syntax supports a trailing letter |
5 |
but what to do about a letter inside the version? |
6 |
|
7 |
One camp here wants to convert them into an ASCII number, so something |
8 |
like: |
9 |
|
10 |
1.0a.5 |
11 |
|
12 |
would be translated to: |
13 |
|
14 |
1.0.097.5 |
15 |
|
16 |
or something. Another camp wants to migrate the "a" to the end, like |
17 |
this: |
18 |
|
19 |
1.0.5a |
20 |
|
21 |
Neither of these are very nice. |
22 |
|
23 |
|
24 |
Any other ideas? |
