cvs versioning

[Paul Brossier <piem-lists@altern.org>]

Hi all.

I am working on packages from cvs upstream sources.  How should I name
their debian version ? I give a few examples below.

Is there a spec for this somewhere ?

Thanx,
piem



Namely, for the package hello i get 2 different tarballs :
hello-2003-12-13-cvs.tar.gz (future 4.1.0 release)
hello-4.0.2.tar.gz

For another package byby, i do myself a package from their cvs tree:
$ tar --exclude CVS --exclude .cvsignore -zcf \
  byby_3.0.`date +%y%m%d`.orig.tar.gz ByBy3
which gives me byby_3.0.031213.orig.tar.gz

my guess for now was to call them respectively:
hello-cvs_4.1.0.20031213-3.diff.gz
hello_4.0.2-2.diff.gz
byby_3.0.031213-2.diff.gz
(this allow to have 2 concurrent packages of hello)

Should they be something else ?
