This is a thread thats also available here
As part of my work on my pnd/repo website I have been looknig at the PXML spec and I was wondering if there could/should be any alterations, and was wondering if we could have a descussion about it.
here are a couple which have cropped up during development of my site which could be usefull, although if anyone has any other suggestions maybe they should add them here too.
It would be benificial to have an extra entry in the version element of the xml like so.
so we can seperate final builds from alpha's and beta's.
Others have mentioned about maybe an aditional dilemiter to the version number i.e.
major.minor.release.build.pndver
pnd version for use where software is ported the software version might remain the same but you might fix a bug in the port so the pndver would then incrament instead.
finally it might be beneficial to include an optional element for a software licence? i.e. BSD, GNU GPL etc and source code uri?
anyway what do people think, could anyone from OPT comment/discuss?
