Hi,
do we have a policy about using the RPM epoch versions?
yes, don't use them. The reason behind is that it just moves the problem to the next level.
I thought the rule was not to use it, but the conventions mention nothing: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/RPM_Style#1.8._Version_Tag
Maybe this should just get added there :)
Indeed. But to add this there, we should probably explain how to handle some cases where epoch is used in other distros so people don't feel lost. So, any idea what are the usual problems where epoch is solved, and what are the recommended solutions?
