dfsg-version-with-period
The version contains the string .dfsg
.
That versioning may harbor a subtle sorting issue, namely: 1.2.dfsg1
is a more recent version than 1.2.1
. It will therefore be difficult
to find a nice version string for the next upstream release if it gains another
dotted digit at the end.
It is better to use +dfsg
instead. The plus sign +
sorts
before .
, so the sorting that is usually desired can take place:
<code>1.2</code> < <code>1.2+dfsg</code> < <code>1.2.1</code>
