That'd work for me, thanks! Some ideas to cover other use-cases if desired: - Always strip ‘+ds(\.\d*)?’ and ‘+dfsg(\.\d*)?’ repack suffixes *after* version mangling. After all, if upstream uses such suffixes in its tags or version number, then the revision has to be mangled so it doesn't collide with a repack suffix no? - New option --upstream-vcs-tag-strip='\+ds(\.\d*)?$' - AFAIK substitution in tag formats currently support a single character; it could be changed so the remaining of the middle portion is stripped, so ‘%(version%.+ds%_)’ rewrites ‘1.2.3+ds’ to ‘1_2_3’ and ‘%(version%.+ds%.)’ rewrite it to ‘1.2.3’. Odd semantics though and not trivial to document… cheers -- Guilhem.
