The existing version format for our packages use `distro-codename` in the version.
Unfortunately, `codename` cannot be used to compare versions, which means that
when a user upgrades their distro to a new version, the package won't be updated
until a new release happens.
This patch changes the format of the version to include `VERSION_ID`, which is
numeric, and can be used in version comparison.
While we're making changes, this also adds an extra `pkgRevision` number in the
version, which can allow us to do a new build/release of a package in between
upstream releases. This version is not yet configurable (which can be changed
in future).
Resulting packages are now formatted as;
- name of the package (e.g., "docker-ce")
- version (e.g., "22.10.6~beta.0")
- "-0" (mostly "best practice", and allows updating for specific situations)
- distro (e.g., "ubuntu")
- VERSION_ID (e.g. "22.04" or "11") this must be "sortable" to make sure that
packages are upgraded when upgrading to a newer distro version ("codename"
cannot be used for this, as they're not sorted)
- pkgRevision (usually "0", see above)
- SUITE ("codename"), e.g. "jammy" or "bullseye". This is mostly for convenience,
because some places refer to distro versions by codename, others by version.
we prefix the codename with a tilde (~), which effectively excludes it from
version comparison.
Note that while the `${EPOCH}${EPOCH_SEP}` is part of the version, it is not
included in the package's *filename*.
Examples:
docker-ce_22.10.6~beta.0-0~debian.11.0~bullseye_amd64.deb
docker-ce_22.10.6~beta.0-0~ubuntu.22.04.0~jammy_amd64.deb
