version2

Yes, and the American way of doing that is not logical. The thing is, if you see "8.2.1" as a version number, always assume it is Year.Month.Day. If it was Year.Day.Month, the version numbers would get all screwed up (February 10 2008 > February 19 2008? No!)

OCNix-v.2008.02

OCNix- dev that built it . year . month (optional -built_number)

Just a suggestion. Might be better in the long run then the short as at first there will most likely be lots of builds.

Since there is windows 95,98, etc, how about:

OCNix08-v.02-build {TAG-optional}

as OCNix - year - v (month) - build #, and {TAG} could be like {BETA} , etc

13 3 @ 7 l 3 13 0 y

I like succinctness in version numbers, lol, like putting b for beta.

OCNix v.02b|08

where 02 is the build, b is beta, and 08 is the year. Simple, to the point. contains all the info.

Can i search a specific site in google? Is there a title associated with my reps? What are fragmentations/how do they occur?

Typical unix convention though is to tack on the build number for that release on the end.

Like:
OCNix-2008.02-5

Where the -5 means the fifth build of release 2008.02

Or we could use the version system that almost every other piece of software uses:

X.X.X.XXXX
or
MajorVersion.MinorVersion.Release.Build

That should keep confusion to a minimum.

version2

I like this. Except I don't understand the logic for the month leading with a zero. It should be: OCNix 2008.2-5
OCNix 2008.11-2
etc,.

I think the addition of alpha/beta is unnecessary. I know for the Linux kernel, however, that they add "-rc1" to the end of the version string to denote a release candidate.

I'm confused with all the different naming schemes. Somebody should make a poll
