I would like the snapshots to be numbered so that it is obvious:<br>
<p>
1. Whether one snapshot is more recent than another snapshot.<br>
<p>
2. Whether a snaphot is more recent than an official release, and<br>
vice versa.<br>
<p>
I prefer that the release numbers are monotonically increasing.<br>
<p>
I package versions of sane for Debian and I want the automatic<br>
updating to work flawlessly, whether I package an official release or<br>
a snapshot. Currently, I am using a version number of<br>
1.0.1-1999-10-21, which uses the CVS tag DEVEL_1_9. Perhaps 1.0.1-1.9<br>
would make more sense as a version number. By including the 1.0.1<br>
version number, I can make sure that 1.0.2, when it gets release, will<br>
be greater than 1.0.1-1999-10-21-5. It is nice to know that 1.0.2 &gt;<br>
1.0.1-1999-10-19-21 &gt; 1.0.1.<br>
<p>
I don't really know how the versions should be numbered, but I like<br>
including the 1.0.1 in the release number.<br>
<p>
Are there any other ideas out there.<br>
<p>
