[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Community release numbers
What is the policy on versioning the release numbers of G:C packages? I currently just take the release number of the original package and bump it so: n => n+1 m.n => m.n+1 Does the release number reset if the package is updated to a newer version (Red Hat-style) or keep incrementing (SuSE-style), and when is the sub-release number used?

Yes, its reset for new versions. The sub-number is used when updating
in a "branch" ie for a released product (at least internally) so you
don't get conflicting revs between 10.1 and 10.2 say.
