Re: [Haskell-cafe] Changing version numbering schemes for HackageDB packages?

I released a new version of data-spacepart that resolved some of the issues with the previous release. One issue I had was the previous release used the version numbering scheme I use at work: [date].[release] Which does not appear to work as well as the traditional X.Y.Z release numbering scheme with Cabal. As part of the new release I changed the version numbering scheme. An *obviously* bad idea if I thought it through. Any [date].[release] style version number is greater than a X.Y.Z version number until X gets rather large.

So what to do? Continue using the [date].[release] version numbering scheme? Or is there a way to coax HackageDB to ignore the old release?

Use a (slightly) different package name?
