If you have some time, I'd like us to design a tagging scheme that allows me to tag pre-release versions without making packagers' lives uselessly complicated. Gal=E8ne does not use semantic versioning, which is the reason why my tags are of the form =AB galene-0.3.4 =BB rather than =AB v0.3.4 =BB (the latter= would imply semver). Callling pre-release versions =AB galene-0.3.99.x =BB is the logical thing for me, since it preserves the ordering on release numbers -- Debian-style =AB 0.4.0pre3 =BB uses a negative digit, which I fi= nd confusing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quater-imaginary_base Given that Gal=E8ne does not use semantic versioning, do I cause actual problems if I create a tag =AB galene-0.3.99.0 =BB ? -- Juliusz
