Henrik, for debs, 7.1.32~rc is a great choice, because when you drop the
~rc, it will always be considered higher.

For rpms, why not just move the ~rc into the RPM release, and change ~
to 0, so:

Version: 7.1.32
Release: 0rc1

Then when rc is over, drop the ~rc1 and you'd get

Version: 7.1.32
Release: 1

?

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.
