Hi,
As already discussed on debian-science, I intend to package python-suitesparse-graphblas [1] (now version 5.1.8).
It depends on the SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS library [2], with the same version.
The current Debian binary package of GraphBLAS, libgraphblas5, has
version 1:5.10.1, which is the version of the source package based on SuiteSparse [3], but the corresponding GraphBLAS version is actually 5.0.5.
Therefore I intend to package GraphBLAS separately from SuiteSparse, and provide an updated binary package libgraphblas5.
What is the best versioning practice in such a case?
I was suggested to use the real version number for the new source
package and use a different version number for the binary package.
Should I increase the epoch of the binary package (2:5.1.8) or should I
use a trick like 1:5.10.1+really5.1.8?
In any case, it is only needed until GraphBLAS bumps its SOVERSION.
Best regards,
Vincent
