Is using something like 2.02~beta1 acceptable? Brief check suggests that RPM does support it and sorts this before 2.02, but may be there are guidelines for it? Since which openSUSE release is it supported BTW?
To be on the safe side I would not use it because it depends on the package installation tools on the target system where the binary RPM would be installed if 2.02~beta1 is newer than 2.02 or if 2.02~beta1 is older than 2.02, see ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # zypper versioncmp '2.02~beta1' '2.02' 2.02~beta1 is newer than 2.02 # cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL = 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ versus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # zypper versioncmp '2.02~beta1' '2.02' 2.02~beta1 is older than 2.02 # cat /etc/os-release NAME=openSUSE VERSION="13.1 (Bottle)" VERSION_ID="13.1" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (i586)" ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Currently I do not have openSUSE 12.x systems running so that I cannot test the behaviour there.
