#11952 — Bug#966371: project: Higher version for uploads to stable and oldstable distributions

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Package: project
Severity: wishlist

For those who care about Debian derivatives:

A derivative may be deployed as an overlay rather than a full archive.
Modifications from the derivative live together with originals from
Debian, but modifications must have a higher version.

Full archives use this approach to increase the version:
1-1 → 1-1foo1

This does not work with overlays because of binNMUs:
1-1+b1 > 1-1foo1
1-1+b1 > 1-1foo1+b1

A binNMU may be unnecessary in the derivative. Also, these versions are
disruptive:
1-1+b1foo1
1-1+b1foo1+b1

Thus, overlays should use this approach:
1-1 → 1-1.0foo1

However, regular uploads to stable and oldstable distributions may use
the same signalization ("+") as binNMUs, so:
1-1+deb1u1 < 1-1.0foo1

Therefore, please use a higher version for these uploads, such as:
1-1 → 1-1.0+deb1u1
