I was one of the council members to weigh in on this, and the quick improvement that I came up with, was going for a naming scheme like so:
printf "_rc%d%04d%02d%02d",$RC,$YEAR,$MONTH,$DAY Set the date portions to zero in other builds. Alternatively, follow the example of any ebuild that uses a dated patchset, and just have the date of the patchset in the ebuild, and only increment $PR singly. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Council Member E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
