Hello!
I wanted to add a package for erlang-zlib, but I noticed that the
upstream doesn't seem to have tagged any releases at all for the package:
https://github.com/processone/zlib/issues/6
Hopefully they will respond to my request, but if they do not, I am
curious - what is a good policy for packaging when the package doesn't
have an official version? I thought of a few schemes:
erlang-zlib-YYYY-MM-DD
erlang-zlib-0.0.YYYY-MM-DD
Neither of these: we have rules for date stamping and they use
YYYYMMDD, not YYYY-MM-DD.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages
I'd probably go with erlang-zlib-0-1.YYYYMMDDgitCOMMIT
where the 0 is the 'release', and 1 is the revision. You could also go
with erlang-zlib-0-0.1.YYYYMMDDgitCOMMIT , using the pre-release
snapshot style, to be super conservative.
