Why do some packages have three numbers in %release now? For example, /13.1/repo/oss/suse/noarch/mplus-fonts-1.0.56-2.1.2.noarch.rpm. "2" is CI_CNT, "1" is B_CNT, and "2" is...? Usually, adding extra numbers was only used in conjunction with maintenance updates, was it not?
Some weeks ago, the 13.1 codestream was split from Factory. From that point on, all 13.1 builds will get an extra digit, so that commits to 13.1 can't "overtake" the corresponding Factory packet.
Though that does not seem to apply for all, such as NetworkManager-0.9.8.8-1.1.x86_64.rpm (no 1.1.1).
As I understood Mihcael's mail, this only happens on packages rebuilt in
13.1 after the split. NM did not have changes going into 13.1 which have
not been in Factory upfront... so no rebuild, no 3 digit release number.
