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

[Nicola Squartini]

Sorry, keep replying to one person only instead of the mailing list.


How about the other way around:

if xrev == 0                  --> haskell-zlib-0.5.4.2-76-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
if xrev == n && n > 0  --> haskell-zlib-0.5.4.2-76.n-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
