fix generating pre-release deb/rpm versions when using '.'#700
Merged
Conversation
The script assumed that pre-release suffixes used the format `-tp<number>`, `-beta<number>` or `-rc<number>`, however, it's more common (and standard practice in SemVer) to delimit the `alpha/beta/rc` with a `.`, which allows SemVer comparing to first sort by pre-release version (`alpha`, `beta`, `rc`), then by the numeric suffix. Altogether, we should consider removing this code; using `tp` as a pre-release *before* `alpha` / `beta` is non-standard (pre-releases are named `alpha`, `beta`, `rc`, so that they can be sorted alphabetically. Using `tp` violates that assumption, and adds the complexity of having to add a numeric prefix to make it sort again.
