Hi, There is a bug (#496780) requesting to use patchlevel of bash as part of RPM version. So today bash-4.0-6.fc11.i586 would be bash-4.0.16-6.fc11.i586. What do you think about it? Could it break anything? RR
General rule of thumb is follow what's in the tarball filename if possible. And the patchlevel isn't in it.
But putting the patchlevel in somewhere isn't a bad idea. I'd go with something like this:
bash-4.0-1.pl16 bash-4.0-2.pl17 bash-4.0-3.pl18
... That is, follow the guidelines for a non-numeric post release:

(Even though it's technically numeric...)
