::Per http://wpkg.org/Packages.xml: "revision - user created integer to represent the "version" of the specific WPKG package for this application. Should be incremented when creating a new release. Not to be confused with the software application's version or revision that the WPKG package is for." I've been putting XXX for the revision when I update a package snippet on the wiki, but either 0 or 1 would be acceptable to me. All of the package snippets should be purged of revision=version, and made consistent in other respects such as indentation, newlines, etc. I'm willing to do it but I don't want to overstep.

:::In the case, that I made a mistake and have to revise the package, I append .1 or similar to the revision:
<source lang="xml">
<package
id="firefox"
name="Mozilla Firefox"
revision="%PKG_VERSION%.1"
reboot="false"
priority="10">
</source>
:::In addition, I know how many times I had to change the package till I got it right.
:::The Package documentation telling you to use Integers is only valid for release 0.9 and below, starting with 1.0 you can use dotted revisions.
:::Starting with 1.x you can use alpha, beta and milestones too.
:::I will go and update the documentation.
:::I don't think, it does help anyone to change all the package revisions to XXX or something else.
:::XXX might even be worse, since it has a negative taste.
