In this link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelin es#Pre-Release_packages ; where we read :
Release Tag for Pre-Release Packages:
0.%{X}.%{alphatag}%{?dist}
And I'm proposing :
0[.%{X}].%{alphatag}[.%{Y}]%{?dist}
is just better IMHO .
Personally, I think it's too complicated due to the optional nature of X and Y parts and it's just as easy to get wrong if subsequent alphatag breaks release monontonicity and the package maintainer doesn't notice it.
With X being currently mandatory, at least you know you must always increase it every time you update the package, so monotonicity is preserved.
Other argument that I forgot to mention is: this is an extension of first version so nobody needs change his package naming and is an extension in two ways : 1 - Possibility of begin with 0 , before was need be: 0.%{X} 2 - Possibility of write in right .
The current: 0.%{X}.%{alphatag}%{?dist} Extension 1: 0[.%{X}].%{alphatag}%{?dist} Extension 2: 0[.%{X}].%{alphatag}[.%{Y}]%{?dist}
I'd like to have permission to use in some of "my" packages.
