I use this:
arts-trinity - 4:14.0.0-0debian0+r49+pr4~wheezy
14.0.0 is the TDE version, 0debian0 is Debian specific and
normally
increments on any required rebuilds, r49 is the TDE source
revision of the
arts module, pr4 is the Debian packaging revision of the
arts module, and
~wheezy is the distro version's codename.
I see the release version is three numbers. GIT versions will change daily, but if the
official release number changes does that mean official tarballs will be released too?
Version 14.0.0: new tarballs
Version 14.0.1: new tarballs
Version 14.1.0: new tarballs
Only developers and testers will be concerned with the GIT release numbers?
I'm thinking packagers should avoid using the GIT version in the package name if the
package is built with an official tarball release.
Official tarball releases:
arts-14.0.0-i486-1.txz
arts-14.0.1-i486-1.txz
arts-14.1.0-i486-1.txz
GIT packages:
arts-14.0.0_r2371-i486-1.txz
arts-14.0.1_r2771-i486-1.txz
arts-14.1.0_r3071-i486-1.txz
Users then know that packages with GIT versions are unofficial testing packages and not
official releases.
Sound good?
