This doesn't affect the -r1 (ebuild revision) suffix, as that is no upstream suffix but internal to Gentoo's versioning scheme only. Examples: * _alphaX_betaY -> illegal * _rcX_preY -> illegal * _alphaX_preY -> illegal * ... * _{rc,alpha,beta,...}-rX -> legal The rationale behind this is the following: * certain combinations of suffixes don't make sense. * only recent Portage versions support it. If this feature should be allowed again then we need to document a sensible subset of suffix-combinations prior to adding them to the tree. Hope that clarifies it a bit more :-) Danny -- Danny van Dyk Gentoo/AMD64 Project, Gentoo Scientific Project -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
