I had some trouble getting Jenkins to build the release branch after Hugh inserted this ancient Greek symbol into the version number ;) That’s due to the fact that for the Debian packages a changelog is created (e.g. P5/debian-tei-p5-database/debian/changelog) which afterwards is checked to see whether a new package is needed (when the latest version number differs from the new one). Once the beta was in there, subsequent builds failed because of an "illegal character“. I simply nuked those changelog files for now but in the mid term we should a) make that process more bullet proof b) rethink whether that’s an appropriate was of creating the changelog. Because if we release now, there will be no history in the changelog but the current release information. So if we care about the history of the deb-packages we’d need to keep this information somewhere outside (under version control); if we don’t, we can simply add those changelog files to the „clean“ target. Best Peter PS: I’ll be on holiday for the next 10 days but will be back in office on the 29th.
