The current spec attempts to handle things as well as possible on the package |

manager side. If you'd like it to be restricted more, then please provide |

precise details along with reasoning. |

As the bug says, there has been at least one ebuild in the past that appeared |
16 |
to expect the PMS behaviour, but it's gone now. We can change the spec to |
17 |
match portage, but we'd like a repoman check to make sure people don't start |
18 |
doing it again. |

I'm not quite sure exactly what you're requesting here... to ban -r0 entirely? |
36 |
I still don't see the point in doing that in the spec - tree policy, fine, |
37 |
but package managers have to deal with similar issues anyway in other parts |
38 |
of the version syntax. |

If you want the description of PVR changed, then please file a new bug giving |
41 |
details, as Ciaran already asked. |
