Hi,

Yes, I have a general knowledge of how it works.  I'm not always clear 
about them, but in general I'm ok ;)

My reason for asking was beccause I didn't follow vorbisenc and vorbisfile 
closely. I can imagine that there was good reason to change the CURRENT 
number on those two.  But the problem for packages at this point is that, 
since libvorbis didn't get a CURRENT upgrade, I have no way to make 
parallel-installable packages.

Also, how come libvorbisenc and libvorbisfile made such a big jump since 
rc3 ? they went from O to 2 and 3 respectively as CURRENT.

So that's basically why I was asking, I wanted to make sure that enc and 
file didn't accidentally get their CURRENT number upgraded instead of 
their REVISION, as is the case for libvorbis.

Thanks,
Thomas
