I really have serious problems to name the Debian-Pakages. Wouldn't
it be possible to name such successfully testet Version
freetds_jdbc-0.2.9.tgz
or something like that. I wonder what intention could be behind
having three different states:
1. officially released (well, it's beta anyway)
2. successfully tested, but not officially released
3. snapshot
Debian packages require a unique upstream version number. Because
I was successfull with the two snapshots before the current
freetds_jdbc.tgz I named them after the date of the newest file in
the archive which is quite ugly. In my opinion it is bad to have
files with different contents and same names in your ftp archive.
I'd suggest the introduction of a third number to name the versions
which passed the test. The current naming scheme is confusing.
Furthermore I would include the date of the snapshot in the filename
because getting this file by ftp removes original date information
of the archive file.
Kind regards
Andreas.
