The other "solution" which nobody mentioned yet (or maybe I missed
it), is rather trivial: we go back to the old scheme of renaming the
.info/.patch file for each version/revision. Personally I like that
solution much better than any ".info/.patch" combination technique.
So far I have yet to personally experience actual advantages of the
new "%n.info" scheme (I am curious, folks: tell me your success
stories, things you were able to do with the new system which you
couldn't do in the past. I am talking about real experience, no
theoretical scenarios, please :-)
I don't see how there will be any success stories until enough time
passes that packages that are currently unnumbered undergo revision.
The advantage in the new naming scheme is being able to see the
history, and until you start updating packages, there will be no
history. :)
Point taken, you are right of course!
Still I'd be interested to know if somebody has already had any real
experiences with this (independent of the subject of the thread,
actually). E.g. I converted a few of my packages to the new scheme, but
did not yet update any of them again. I wonder if people maybe already
have had a chance to make use of the "see the history more easily"
feature.
Cheers,
Max
