I understand, but I'm still tempted to say "don't do > that then". Distilling the whole mesage down to this, as this is the core issue. I personally used the decimal release scheme when doing the PostgreSQL RPMs. While it's been a long time ago, I think I used a 0.x release while developing and honing the packaging, and rebuilds of a release where nothing was actually changed in the spec (other than the release) got a decimal, but, like I say, it has been a long time. But the more critical question is 'would upstream ever use a decimal release number that might conflict with mine?'
