Description Scott A. Hughes 2004-10-10 16:00:17 UTC

Description of problem:

Squirrelmail package in Fedora Core 3 Test 2 has incorrect version number.

It is,

squirrelmail-1.4.3-2.noarch.rpm

whereas it should be something like,

squirrelmail-1.4.3a-2.noarch.rpm

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

squirrelmail-1.4.3-2.noarch.rpm

Additional info:

SquirrelMail 1.4.3 and SquirrelMail 1.4.3a were different releases and
the package has been patched to bring it up to the latter. The version
number of the RPM should reflect this.

Comment 1 Scott A. Hughes 2004-10-10 16:11:00 UTC

The same applies to the SquirrelMail RPM in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
AS/ES 3.94.

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2004-10-12 02:15:23 UTC

Under RPM packaging best practices, %{version} should avoid
non-numeric symbols whenever possible.  I will add "a" to the end of
the %{release} tag for only cosmetic purposes for FC3/RHEL4, as that
is how we attach non-numeric version parts to our package versioning.

Version: 1.4.3
Release: 3.a

Comment 3 Gary Benson 2004-10-12 11:34:45 UTC

Thanks Warren.

Though actually, the reason I omitted the "a" was because 1.4.3a had
not been formally released at the time I built the packages -- the rpm
contains the 1.4.3 tarball and a patch to fix whatever 1.4.3a fixed.
