I'm not sure if I should modify upset or setup to deal with this. I
don't see any real need to have tildes in filenames so I'm leaning
towards upset.

I think JonY was trying to indicate that the checkout-date was part of the version, not the cygwin-release.

I usually use an underscore in that case:

foo-2.4.6_YYYYMMDD-1

But if setup is happy with 2.4.6-YYYYMMDD-1 and understands that the
"version" is "2.4.6-YYYYMMDD" and the release is "1" (rather than
"2.4.6" and "YYYYMMDD-1") then I don't think it matters.


Hi,


its due in part to cygport's inherit svn template.

IMHO either cygport shpuld be fixed to use "-" instead of "~" or setup should be fixed to handle "~" in filenames.
