Once upon a time, Gerry Reno <greno(a)verizon.net> said:
One of the problems is versioning and occurred when the project
created
release candidates and we ended up with versions like:
5.0.0-rc1
I believe the typical way to package an rc, pre, etc. type release is
5.0.0-0.rc1. Then when it goes final, you can package 5.0.0-1 and be
newer.
Well, rpmbuild does not recognize hyphen as a legal character
although
it worked fine for apt. So I opened a bug on the project and then devs
then changed it to:
5.0.0_rc2
That is newer than 5.0.0, so you'll have upgrade problems.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
