Hello,
I'd like to change versioning for TeX Live packages. Currently, it
refers to a revision number in the upstream SVN repository, such as
70951.
I'd rather use tags from TeX Live releases, e.g., "2023.0", for at least
two reasons:
1. We don't need a granularity to the revision level for TeX Live
packages;
2. Revision numbers are not very user-friendly, while tags are.
In a nutshell, my plan is to change version for all packages from
(revision) 66594 to the equivalent tag "2023.0". Unfortunately, as
mathematics go, 2023 is lesser than 66594. As a consequence, this may
introduce trouble when upgrading those packages. Therefore, my question
is the following: how could I proceed to make this version change as
smooth as possible for end-users?
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
