dfsg-version-with-tilde
The source version string contains a tilde like ~dfsg
.
It is probably in a form like 1.0~dfsg-1
.
Most people should use a plus sign instead, as in +dfsg
. It will
ensure proper version sorting.
We can think of two cases for which a tilde makes sense. First, upstream may release a tarball again using the same version, but with the offending files removed. The second case is when all DFSG concerns for a source tarball disappeared. In both cases, repacking is no longer necessary. We think both cases are rare.
