So then to cure that we end up with this:
_rc2-rYYYYMMDDrr, where rr being two digits taking the place of the
second revision sequence ( the -rX in _rc2-rYYYYMMDD-rX) in the example
above. Human parsing of that long a string of digits becomes
increasingly difficult, unfortunately, but it should work.
Bleh; fugly abuse of revisions; they are not meant to be used for
upstream code changes. Sorry but mplayer-1.0_rc2_pre20070321-r4 or
alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc2_p3234 is a whole lot more sane and readable
than the above -rYYYYMMDD kludge.
On a general note - if you are unable to agree upon an acceptable
solution, then better refrain from taking 'emergency' measures on
issues where there's no emergency whatsoever. There's been a bug open
for over two months and noone ever suggested that I'd be a case for
urgent council decision.
