dfsg-version-with-period
The version contains the string .dfsg.
That versioning may harbor a subtle sorting issue, namely: 1.2.dfsg1
is a more recent version than 1.2.1. It will therefore be difficult
to find a nice version string for the next upstream release if it gains another
dotted digit at the end.
It is better to use +dfsg instead. The plus sign + sorts
before ., so the sorting that is usually desired can take place:
1.2 < 1.2+dfsg < 1.2.1
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the
2.112.0
release tag in our Git
repository.
You can find the detection logic for this version at commit 131c0f4. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check fields/version/repack/period.
