Hi,
I'm co-maintaining with Arnaud the Debian packaging of the plasma-mobile shell and a few related apps, in order for Debian to be provide this additional graphical environment choice on mobile devices.
Plasma-dialer is the phone app, while Spacebar is the SMS app inside the plasma-mobile shell.
Upstream developers of these 2 apps have recently moved [1][2][3]
from the KDE apps' release numbering (year.month.revision, like 23.01.0
that is the version now in Debian stable and sid for both apps)
to the Plasma release numbering (major.intermediate.minor revision
number, like 6.2.3 that is the Plasma version the Qt/KDE team has
recently uploaded to sid).
Therefore, the intended upgrade direction is from version 23.01.0 to the version 6.2.4, that isn't handled correctly by apt due to the new
revision number being lower than the old one.
In order to fix the upgrade process, I would like to add an epoch to the version number. I think this is the only way to handle this correctly,
but I'm not so experienced so any hint is welcome.
Is it fine for the Debian project to add the epoch to these 2 apps'
version number?
I would agree that this is an appropriate use of an epoch, and I can’t think of any other way to handle the situation.
