Lintian tag: dot-before-repack-count
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The source version contains a repack count that is prefaced by a dot, like
+dfsg.N.
For proper version sorting, please use +dfsgN instead.
Please note, however, that a version containing the dot +dfsg.N-1 (here
with a Debian revision) should not change to +dfsgN-1 (without the dot)
for the same upstream release. That is because 1.0+dfsgN-1 always appears
less recent than the original 1.0+dfsg.1-1. Please consider the new format
when upstream cuts the next release.
Please refer to
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/10/msg00026.html for details.
