Subject: Wishlist: Standardised version numbers
When building rpm files for DateTime and DateTime::Locale, we keep running into difficulties because 0.4001 is "higher" than 0.78 according to rpm. As such, a 0.78 rpm will not count as recent enough to satisfy the dependency, and yum will not see 0.78 as an update from 0.4001. Arguably this is rpm/yum being braindead, but if you could consistently use four digits for the version number then the problem would go away. We ended up changing all occurrences of 0.78 with 0.7800 but this isn't a great solution. Thanks :-) -- Adam

I've standardizes on X.YY for a long time, and I don't see that changing.

changing. In which case any chance of bumping to 1.00 to tidy up these rogue dependencies? ;-)
