Re: [ANN] apache_1.3.22-2
I'd like to put in a vote for NOT treating '_' and '-' identically.
While it is easy to use "apache1" and "apache2" instead of "apache_1"
and "apache_2" -- it isn't so easy for packages (like bzip2) that
already end with a numeral. I'm specifically thinking of: splitting
bzip2 into a bzip2 and libbzip2 package, to allow multiple libbzip2
(DLLs) to coexist.
libbzip20 and libzip21 are misleading, whereas
libbzip2_0 and libbzip2_1 are clear.
In fact, I *thought* setup/upset didn't treat '_' any differently than
'a' but perhaps I was wrong...
