Dear all, I have a simple question; Let's imagine we have a package 'foobar'; which the latest stable release is 1.0. Someone decides to to update to git snapshot and uses a version based on the date, for example: 20121017, where the NEVRA goes into something like: Name: foobar Epoch: 0 Version: 20121017 Release: 0 Arch: noarch Now after two years of git snapshotting we get an official release, lets say, 1.1; Would it normal to suppose that version wise: 20121017 > 1.1 Eventually my guess was that we should enforce Epoch to get back into track and make sure 1.1 would replace the former packages; If I understood correctly it is not wise to use Epoch within openSUSE and it should be banned... So... How do we get this update going ? This is just an hipotetical case, though I can remember of few examples currently in production, which don't for this case; I'm mainly interesting in knowing how to deal with this in openSUSE.
