For what it's worth I use the last release version number plus svn revision when I package svn snapshots ie. last release = 1.20 then an svn snapshot from svn rev 748 will become 1.20.748 then the release 1.21 is > 1.20.748.
Fortunately the project uses git, so no revision numbers ;-)
If the final release of your "0.9.25beta17" is 0.9.25 there might be a problem because I suspect that the beta version is greater than the release version and you will have to use provides and obsoletes or something.
That's why I want to package the 0.9.25betaX as 0.9.24.99.nnnn I'll probably go for 0.9.24.99.17 for the beta17 and 0.9.24.99.17.$(DATE) for potential later snapshots. beta18 will become 0.9.24.99.18 and will be bigger. Cristians "zypper vcmp" hint is a good one - I did not know that feature ;-) Thanks, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
