Hi, I just wanted to ask how to interpret the current version number of batctl. Does it mean that the current version in svn is before or after a possible 0.2-beta release? Is it important for me because debian differentiates between before and after something. For example 0.2~beta would mean that there is a beta version before the 0.2 release. So I wanted to know if should call a svn snapshot of the current batctl 0.2~beta~svn1317 (svn1317 snapshot before a possible 0.2~beta release) or 0.2~beta+svn1317 (svn1317 snapshot after the beta phase has started - no beta version will ever be made available or has been released already). It seems that the 0.2~beta~svn1317 is the more "correct" version as it has less extra rules than 0.2~beta+svn1317. For example there must not be an extra rule for events like the release of 0.3.1 of batman when Simon changed the version string to 0.3.1 in 1177 which was before the release of 0.3.1 and thus shouldn't be called 0.3.1+svn1177. Can this be interpreted the same way for all other on open-mesh.net published hosted projects? So if I would create a snapshot version of batman it would have the version number 0.4~beta~svn1309?

Hi,

that s perfectly fine with me. If the version string contains an "alpha" it means we are going towards the alpha release. The last commit before the renaming to "beta" is the final alpha.
