Hi *,

another thing I would like to clarify is the use of the patchlevel or
also called extra version field.
IMHO it should be increasend in every case where the resulting package
changes, be it an added patch, an added option or something like that.

Updates to the package should always reset the patchlevel to 0.

I see a few patches in submaster that don't follow that scheme, so I
want to clarify the usage of that. I may be wrong, if so, please correct
me. But the patchlevel is mainly used by people who are looking for an
updated package. if they see the same filename, they expect the same
content. Otherwise we should stop cursing those projects that repeatedly
change the contents of their files without changing the version number. 

Ciao
