[arch-haskell] RFQ: Proposal for new versioning of packages

[Fabien Dubosson]

Seems so:

===========================

$ mkdir TEMP; cd TEMP

$ cat << EOL > PKGBUILD
pkgname=dummy
pkgver=2.1.1_0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="dummy package"
arch=(any)
url="http://"
license=('GPL')
source=()
md5sums=()

package() {
  msg "Dummy package"
  }
EOL

$ makepkg -fsic

$ sed -i 's#2\.1\.1_0#2.1_1#' PKGBUILD

$ makepkg -fsic

===========================

pacman shows:

warning: downgrading package dummy (2.1.1_0-1 => 2.1_1-1)
