Subject: iproute2 DDMMYY versioning - why?
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 16:05:50 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJ3xEMhk+EQ_avGSBDB5_Gnj09w3goUJKkxzt8innWvFkTeEVA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Stephen,

Taking into account that iproute releases are aligned with the kernel
ones -- is there any real reason for the confusing DDMMYY double
versioning?

I see that even the git tags go after the kernel releases..

Or.

# git remote -v

origin  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git (push)

$ git log -p include/SNAPSHOT.h
