I'm trying to clean up and update the tidy packge, for whatever reason it has the version number 1.0 in openSUSE although tidy uses 0.99.0 internally (it has a VERSION macro set to this and its SONAME is libtidy-0.99.so.0). So the correct version number should be 0.99.0.20100204cvs which is however smaller than 1.0. For the libtidy subpackage this would probably not be a problem since it could be renamed to libtidy0 in order to conform to the
libtidy-0_99-0 actually (the rpmlint report tells you that).
packaging policy and quieten rpmlint but that does not solve it for the tidy package. Since using epoch is not allowed, what would be an appropriate solution for this?
You can simply keep the version number at 1.0.
