Description Hin-Tak Leung 2013-01-05 01:39:49 UTC
Description of problem:
I am glad a more recent texlive than 2007 is finally making it into fedora 18. I notice some upgrade anomalies whenever upstream versions have "a" or "b" in the components though, where yum upgrade would offer to "downgrade", basically.
Here are a few examples of actual screen scraps:

-----------

You can see quite a few components with higher svn revisions are considered old because the newer versions have an extra "a", "b", or in one case, fewer digits in the upstream versions.

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

How reproducible:

Additional info:

I don't see an obvious answer to this problem - bumping epoch up for every svn snaphshot would be undesirable. Perhaps putting the snapshot date as part of the version number, like some of the other packages from snapshots?
