I'm looking at the Maverick packages for KDE 4.5.5 to see about uploading to
maverick-proposed. The versioning is a very mixed bag. Not much of it
helpful.
By the normal versioning guidlines for -proposed/-updates I'd like to land
these packages as 4:4.5.5-0ubuntu0.1. Unforunately I won't be able to do
this. We've already got things like:
4:4.5.5-0ubuntu1.1ppa1
4:4.5.5-0ubuntu1ppa1
and my personal favorite:
4:4.5.85really4.5.5-0ubuntu1ppa1
Since 4.5.5 was never in the Ubuntu archive before, I'm just going to go with:
4:4.5.5-0ubuntu2
In the future, please pay attention to numbering with the archive in mind.
I'd suggest a pattern like:
4:4.X.Y-0ubuntu0.1~ppaZ
Thanks,
Scott K
