well, making it REV=2001.01.17.patched or something would be fine too.
I think its important to let our users know, "this is not just
rdesktop 1.6.0 source".
Naming it rdesktop-1.6.0,REV=2011.01.17 as it currently stands,
implies that it is just pure 1.6.0
Mentioning it in the README is nice, but I think we need to be more
accurate in the naming.
It is after all, "version naming". We are misrepresenting "this is
rdesktop version 1.6.0".
It would be nice to have some kind of opencsw standard, "this is
patched" naming addon.
(for feature patch, not just "make it compile on solaris/relocate to /opt/csw")
This is one reason I hate the openssh people:
The nice simple standard for us, would be
software-#.#.#p, p=="patched".
but the idiots at openssh have decided 5.4p1 is their normal naming
style, instead of "5.4.1" like everyone else uses. Grrr.
