New description: [http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/build/jam/BuildSetup build/jam/BuildSetup] currently defines {{{ HAIKU_VERSION = r1~alpha4_pm }}}. Perhaps something along the lines of {{{ r1~pre_alpha5 }}} would be more apt? Upon each release, we could version the next release to be another alpha (or another beta, once in beta stage). This would prevent naming issues due to releasing an unanticipated alpha, when the current version would be named {{{ r1~pre_beta1..... }}} -- -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/10289#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
