FOSS Versioning - Fortune [possible satire]

d3xBTW, you can do mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile file.mp3
d3xno need to re-encode
rindolfThis -dumpfile is a nice trick.
rindolfIs it new?
rindolfI wonder when mplayer will hit 1.0 already.
rindolfAh.
rindolfAll the stuff I saw told me to use WAV and then encode.
d3xmplayer and 1.0? I’m not really sure it's their goal
rindolfThey will stay at 1.0RC-foo forever?
d3xalthough i would be glad if they had some sensible versioning
rindolfYes.
rindolfAt the moment perl-Mojolicious is at 0.999924.
rindolfAt least perl-Moose hit 1.00
d3xLOL
rindolfWithout any substantial changes from 0.99.
rindolfBut you've got to upgrade somehow.
rindolfperl-Moose is MDV/RH notation, but I like it.
d3xIMO, it's just stupid not to release 1.0
rindolfI dislike libmoose-perl
rindolfYes.
d3xwine did so and now they have normal versioning
rindolfThough most of my CPAN modules are sub-1.0.
rindolfhttp://search.cpan.org/~shlomif/
rindolfI think except for one module (where I used 0.2.0 0.4.0 and eventually hit 0.8.0 and had to go to 1.000) all my 1.0 and above modules are adopted.
d3xthey are sub-1.0, but they are not 0.9.999.2010.03.11-rc5
d3x:)
rindolfOne of them used the CVS revisions as versions.
rindolfd3x : LOL.
rindolfYes.
rindolfd3x: can I quote you on that?
d3xi say it's stupid to make releases up to 0.9.something and then not to release 1.0
rindolfI collect quotes on my homepage.
d3xsure you can
rindolfAt the moment I have freecell-solver-2.42.0
rindolfBut I hope the new release will be 3.0.0
d3xthe one that was bought by Freecell Solver Enterprises? :D
rindolfI've left GNOME and gtk+/glib behind.
rindolfd3x yes.
rindolfFreecell Solver Enterprises™ Inc.
rindolfAh, so you've seen that.
d3xyes, you posted a link on #debian
rindolfYes.
rindolfYou should add a digest to the version.
rindolf0.9.999.2010.03.11-rc5-adc83b19e793491b1c6ea0fd8b46cd9f32e592fc
d3xLOL
rindolfIn case you're using git or hg.
