Re: [ovirt-devel] [vdsm] about package release number

Hi all,
it was recently pointed out that Vdsm 4.18.3 rpms have -0 release number, like in
rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/vdsm-4.18.3-0.fc23.x86_64.rpm
But this is OK only for packages built from master. From stable branch and official
releases,
we should have something like
rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/vdsm-4.18.3-1.c2e510e.fc23.x86_64.rpm
or perhaps just
rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/vdsm-4.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm
If we want to follow the fedora packaging guidelines ([1]), There are
three cases in which non-numeric versions occur in the Release field:
- Snapshot packages
- Pre-release packages
- Post-release packages
So, being this a release candidate, in theory we should avoid
including a checkout tag in the package name.
It's instead a good practice for snapshot builds.

To quickly unblock 4.0, I posted
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/59337/ - please consider this a quick fix and review as
such
To properly address the versioning, I posted my take here
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/topic:new-release
This is not marked a draft, yet I posted mostly as discussion material, I'm not
confident
this is really (or completely) the proper way to go.
Please share your thoughts.
