OK, my bad, but no need to shout in the spec (that's what pld-devel is
for ;) .

And this note isn't really mplayer-specific. For any package with
version X release Y.betaZ.W, the Y digit (usually 0) can be bumped up to
overcome non-arithmetic betaZ behavior. Bumping epoch stays applicable
weird versioning in the X part.

(yes, that's no news, just for the archives)

[saq at neptune SPECS]$ rpmvercmp 1.0-1.pre7.1 1.0-1.pre7try2.1
1.0-1.pre7.1 > 1.0-1.pre7try2.1
