The rules are at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-howto.xml#doc_chap2 under |

"Naming ebuild Files". |

For this sort of case, you have a few options, but the easiest is something |
| 13 |
like 0.9_beta1102. If upstream is really crazy with their version numbers and |
| 14 |
all of a sudden comes out with 0.9beta11.2.1, this breaks down though. |
| 15 |
beta11021 is bigger, but then what for beta12? |
| 16 |
|

Another option is to use the CVS like naming scheme. For example, |
| 18 |
0.9_beta20040214. This is the safest, but probably most confusing for users. |

If/Once http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37406 get's incorporated, you |
| 21 |
will be able to specify a version number of 0.9_beta11_p2. |
