[opensuse-gnome] Are versions in gnome:stable correct?

Many packages in gnome:stable repo for 11.0 are the same or even older version than in the standard repo.
Example:
gnome-screen saver.
repo-oss: 2.22.2-24.1 gnome.stable: 2.22.2-12.3
Is this correct?

Carlos, Most likely yes. The number after the "-" is build number, so the package from the repo-oss has been built a total of 23 times vs only 12 for G:S. They are actually the same version, as to what causes one to be built more than the other I couldn't say but the chances are it's related to a dependency being rebuilt which then triggers it to be rebuilt.

Almost. :) The numbers after the dash—the Release: field, one of the ones you're generally supposed to leave alone in your .spec files—are the checkin count and build number. I don't know whether Release:'s components are always increased by one, but in this case gnome-screensaver was checked in up to 24 and up to 12 times, and rebuilt once and up to thrice. When you update a package's version, both are reset. The post version bump checkins are usually due to patches being added, packaging fixes, etc. (Note that this only applies to packages built by the build service. Packages you create using rpmbuild or osc build won't respect that convention, and other build systems do things differently as well.) Michael. -- Ma patrie, c'est la langue anglaise.

:-) Well, guys, thanks for the technical information, but what I mean is rather that a user trying to update to gnome:stable... well, YaST will update very little, because many packages are listed as older or the same. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
