Dear friends,

RPM packages are named:
name-version-release.rpm

A version can be 0.9.0, 0.9.1, etc...
The release number can be anything.

Both version and release number must exist.
You cannot have pgadmin3-0.9.0.rpm

but you can have:
pgadmin3-0.9.0-1.rpm

Because release number must exist and can be anything,
it does shock me to use a build date.

Besides, it proved to be very usefull for users, as read in the email:
"I use pgAdmin3 build date 200307..."

In my opinion, a beta is just a build date that we consider more stable than
others and declare beta. It is just a convention.

ANYWAY: I am rebuilding betas with pgadmin3-0.9.0-1.rpm and will upload them
during the night. It will take me some time because I have to rebuild
wxWindows as well. I missed the information to upgrade to 20030722...
