I think a typical problem might be that you created / published a version with a completely broken version tag (typo in the spec file).
so instead of having VersionL 1.0.1 you wrote Version: 10.1
In this case of course, the user will never ever get an update anymore until the package really reaches this version.
Yep, that's the only use case I'm aware of.
This is a use-case where Epoch can help you out... (as it's just an added version information in front of the real version).
But... what about the policy to not use Epoch? :-) Is it okay in this case? (if yes, we should specify this) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
