[elrepo-devel] Naming guidelines

[Nikolay Ulyanitsky]

I have not found any ELRepo naming guidelines.

I think we must use Fedora Naming Guidelines
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines)
as template of ELRepo naming guidelines.

Example of Naming guidelines:
  * %{X} - original module version
  * %{Y} - incremented release number
  * %{VCSTAG} - version control system tag (20050515cvs, svn12345,
git5aef11739b, etc).
  * %{DIST} - macro, for example .el5.repo

I. Packages with backported modules:
    %{NAME}-0.0-%{Y}%{DIST}

    Many kernel modules have a version < 1.0.0, for example: 0.0.3,
0.12, 0.99t-ac, etc.
    We should never change the version from 0.0.

    foo-0.0-1.el5.repo
    foo-0.0-2.el5.repo
    foo-0.0-3.el5.repo
    ...

II. Pre-Release Packages:
    %{NAME}-%{X}-0.%{Y}.%{PRETAG}%{DIST}

    foo-1.2-0.1.alpha.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.2.alpha.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.3.beta1.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.4.beta1.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.5.beta1.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.6.beta2.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.7.beta2.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.8.beta2.el5.repo
    ...

III. Pre-Release Snapshot Packages
    %{NAME}-%{X}-0.%{Y}.%{VCSTAG}%{DIST}

    foo-1.2-0.1.20050515cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.2.20050515cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.3.20050515cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.4.20090311cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-0.5.20090311cvs.el5.repo
    ...

IV. Packages:
    %{NAME}-%{X}-%{Y}%{DIST}

    foo-1.2-1.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-2.el5.repo
    foo-2.0-1.el5.repo
    ...

V. Snapshot packages
    %{NAME}-%{X}-%{Y}.%{VCSTAG}%{DIST}

    foo-1.2-1.20050515cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-2.20050515cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-3.20050515cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-4.20090311cvs.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-5.20090311cvs.el5.repo
    ...

VI. Post-Release Packages:
    %{NAME}-%{X}-%{Y}.%{POSTTAG}%{DIST}

    foo-1.2-1.sp1.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-2.sp1.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-3.sp2.el5.repo
    foo-1.2-4.sp2.el5.repo
    ...
