These packages start out from Mercurial repositories, so I can derive the version number from the semver tags ('v1.0.0') and other data from the repository to construct Really Specific Version Numbers during my automated package building process. In the following case, I use the tag plus the distance from the latest tag and the short hash of the current revision. $ hg log -r. --template '{latesttag}+{latesttagdistance}-{node|short}\n' | sed -e 's/^v//' 1.0.0+1-df34ebfc12c9 Or, I can simply get the semver tag: $ hg log -r. --template '{latesttag}\n' | sed -e 's/^v//' 1.0.0 My question: In the context of modern PackageMaker packages, would 1.0.0+1-df34ebfc12c9 be interpreted as '1.0.0' by Installer for the purpose of upgrades? I ask because I would like to use the longer, more specific version numbers for my own purposes. However, I don't want to create problems by not using something that Installer would interpret correctly for upgrades. If problems were created, I'd settle for the '1.0.0' version numbers. I want to get around to testing this but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone already knew. Thanks! -- Jeremy _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
