All,
Updating different minimum dependency package version info for tde PKGBUILDs, I note there have been a number of 'version number format' changes for various packages. E.g.:
filesystem 0.x.y-z ==> 2013.05-2 usbutils 0.x.y-z ==> 006-1
There is a big difference going from filesystem>=0.7.3 to filesystem>=2013. When I run across packages like this where the version has changed format -- Are they likely going to stay with the new format? Or will they likely revert back to major.minor-rel numbers at some time?

This is handled with the `epoch` part of the version now, so it's a non-issue. Arch generally doesn't make use of minimum version requirements at all because partial upgrades are not supported.
