Hello pear-dev, It seems, that I've missed all the fun with version naming proposal. Now I see some interesting status convention - CVS commit in one package.xml from

      <version>1.2.0-dev</version>

to

      <version>1.2.0dev</version>

Can smb. quickly enlighten me on the matter, why joined-up writing style was chosen? I thought x.x.x is version and -letters suffix is package status? In natural language people often divide logical concepts by spaces to words, by liparagraphs and so on. Why to have

      preg_match("|\W+|i", $version);
      preg_match("|\w+|i", $version);

instead of

      explode("-", $version);

to get package version and it's status?

you have come late twice .. there is already a new rfc that went through and that would hopefully soon make it into some sort of document: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=65 regards, Lukas
