Hi Christian,
I just saw your 4:0.5.svn20090318-0.0 upload as forwarded from
marillat.changes at ml.free.fr.
Please consider using a versioning scheme close to the one used in
Debian. Debian just bumped the epoch of the ffmpeg packages to 3 and
you bumped it further to 4. This means that even if we update the
ffmpeg packages, people will keep using your version. I don't think
that's desired.
I would like it if you would use the Debian version + marillatN
instead, e.g. 3:0.svn20090303-1marillat1; that is the same scheme as
Ubuntu and is provent to work. If you need to prepare a new upstream
version, just use the same versionning scheme.
If there are other reasons for the change, let us now.
Also, did you consider asking us about an update instead of rolling one
in your repo?
Thanks,
