Dear all,
I would like your opinion regarding: [Bug 503108] New: R2spec-2.5.2 loses Version information
It basically says that when the package version is 2.3-50 R2spec only retrieve 2.3 as being the version number. To me and based on the packages R-abind, R-acepack, R-mAR (and some other that I didn't list) this is not a bug.
Do you agree with me ?
I agree that we are loosing information in the version and that on the other hand the dash is just a fancy replacement for the dot.
So we could agree to replace all the dashes in R package versions by dots and be done with it.
Whatever we decide we should apply this uniformly to all R packages that have this numbering.
Thanks for the feedback José :)
Spot, does the guideline say something about this ? Should they ? Should we bring the discussion to a broader audience ?
