Packaging

Packages should be versioned in the following way. Here, $VERSION refers to the version specified in configure.ac or setup.py. rN refers to the bzr revision number of the source being packaged, if not packaged from a release, and $BUILDID is the build string (aka. "package version", typically of the form 0ubuntu1 for packages in Ubuntu, for build strings for PPA builds, see https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA ), which may include the PPA index, and SERIES index as applicable for building in a PPA, or repository which is not the official distribution package repository.

• Released tarball versions: $VERSION-$BUILDID
• Snapshot from bzr (nightlies): $VERSION+rN-$BUILDID
