Seeking advice about versioning change

[Iñaki Ucar]

Hi all,

RStudio has changed the versioning scheme in the last release. The
last one (currently packaged in Fedora) was 1.4.1717. The new one is
(wait for it...) 2021.09.0+351 (reminds me of [1]). So two obvious
questions:

1. The two schemes actually order properly. Should I increment the epoch anyway?
2. What should I do with that +351? Do we have a policy about the "+"?
Should we make one?

Thanks in advance.

No. 2021.09.0+351 is higher than 1.4.1717:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 2021.09.0+351 1.4.1717
2021.09.0+351 > 1.4.1717

"+" is fine, it's just treated the same as a "." in RPM.
