[Bug 939865] Re: Don't use dash in new version number 7.1.31-rc

 

Hmm... Apparently RPM also doesn't like tilde. But a plust sign is ok.
Plus is also ok with debs.

I think plus is a bit ugly though. Maybe for RPM we just continue to
strip the informational -rc value.

Note that we cannot use dot, because pandora build also creates four
part version numbers when packaging a non-release point in the tree. I
don't want to keep guessing whether 7.1.32.rc is smaller than
7.1.32.2551.snapshot.

Have to sleep on this but will probably mark this invalid.

Title:
  Don't use dash in new version number 7.1.31-rc

Status in A Lightweight SQL Database for Cloud Infrastructure and Web Applications:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  7.1.31-rc was the first release to introduce new version numbering
  scheme.

  It turns out using a dash as part of the version was a stupid idea.
  This is not allowed in RPM. (Workaround: strip the -rc part, it has no
  significance, it is just informational.) In DEB it is possible, but
  has side effects and is frowned upon.

  We should instead use tilde: 7.1.32~rc.

  TODO:

   * Fix dashes to tildes in m4/pandora_vc_build.m4
   * Change tagging instructions at http://wiki.drizzle.org/Create_Tarballs
