Again: who tested it and what went wrong?
Mats, IIRC. And what went wrong is that the version number is not
recognized by any of the pkg-admin tools; they don't know what to do
with it.
Please, give it up for now, Uwe. Doing it well is going to take a lot
of thought. It took more than 17 months to write PEP 440.[1] I
suppose we could build on that experience and cut it down
substantially, but a fair amount of work still needs to be done.
Compared to the effort required, this is among the least important
tasks facing XEmacs at this point in time, and I don't see anybody
willing to put forth the effort.
