Hi,
I've had a look at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=734802
and I understand that tildes are supported by new versions of RPM, but
not by Fedora infrastructure
I'm currently trying to prepare an upstream project to build tarballs
and I would like to use tildes in the version number of the test
tarballs and distribute them through the upstream web site. They won't
be uploaded to Fedora until a real release (without any tilde) is
tagged. Users will manually rpmbuild packages from the tarballs.
Is it considered OK to use the tilde in this manner? I presume that if
a user downloads such a tarball to an older system, they will have
issues with it but anybody using F18+ will be OK?
Regards,
Daniel
