Re: [Announce] XFS 1.1 Prerelease 2 available for testing

I don't know about other package managers, but RPM definiately isn't 
restricted by this, you can have Version and Release and version 
respects going from 1.0 to 1.1

So even if this package was 1.1.5 and you wanted to release another 
1.1.5 with fixes you could package it again as 1.1.5-2 where the -2 is 
the Release.

Looks like a lot of good changes though.
