package versioning consistency

[Mark Lee]

Hi,

I've been packaging bzr-gedit for Gentoo in my Bazaar overlay <https://launchpad.net/bzr-gentoo-overlay/>, and it would be nice in the future, if the Launchpad release number was consistent with the package tarball's release number. For instance, versions that end in zero have the zero omitted, such as with version 0.4:

http://launchpad.net/bzr-gedit/0.4/0.4/+download/bzr-gedit.0.40.tgz

whereas with version that don't end in zero, the final digit is preserved, such as with version 0.47:

http://edge.launchpad.net/bzr-gedit/0.4/0.47/+download/bzr-gedit.0.47.tgz

The latter is much more predictable, for me at least.

Also, in gentoo-land, version 0.5 < 0.47, so I've had to mangle your version numbers so that they look like 0.4.7 instead, in order to manipulate the version numbers in a relatively sane manner.

Ok, I'll do "round" releases with the cero included.

Thanks!

FYI, It seems that as of release 0.70, the series versioning scheme has changed. However, it's more of an annoyance than as major a change such as 0.4 vs. 0.47.
