I am not sure version should come with a restriction like this. For debug builds, it might be common to have a suffix. Furthermore, not all software conforms to the $MAJOR.$MINOR.$MICRO scheme. I would just leave it specified as a "string which identifies the version of the driver", without any specific restrictions ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
