[arch-dev-public] initscripts versioning
In the past, we used the release name (in this case 2007.11) for the initscripts versioning and bumped the pkgrel on bugfixes/changes. Now that we use a tarball on the ftp, what do we do? - Include the pkgrel in the tarball name (initscripts-2007.11-1.tar.bz2) - Add a postfix to the version number like with the isos (initscripts-2007.11.1.tar.bz2)

IMO tarball version should match pkgver-pkgrel. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

If you need any changes to initscripts, can you clone the archlinux initscripts repository (see http://projects.archlinux.org/git) and send me a patch created by git-format-patch? Could you also tell me if you know about any pending initscripts tasks?

Hah, I just spoke too soon with my last email. I'd say adding the PKGREL to the tarball is fine, considering this is something very Arch-specific. The GIT tags might as well match this too. Are you using git-archive to create the tarball? -Dan

And I replied too soon :)

I am, at least I tested this earlier: git-archive --format=tar --prefix=initscripts-2007.08/ 2007.08 > test.tar
