Subject: [Fedora-r-devel-list] R2spec and version number
Message-ID: <1243576434.2655.7.camel@localhost.localdomain>

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 ?

Thanks,
Best regards,

Pierre

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.
