[tur-users] Xgl.. and its name

Hello list.
It is my first day of working and I have get first contestation ( right,
for love of God :D ).

The problem is in the name of XGL.
Packaging Guidelines says that:

Package versions *should be the same as the version released by the
author*. Versions can include letters if need be (eg, nmap's version is
2.54BETA32). *Version tags may not include hyphens!* Letters, numbers,
and periods only.

But, in the case of XGL, the first periods conflicts with the second
one, because the name is xgl-0.0.1 ( as git repo says). When I put it on
AUR, I've thought that autor's name is most important that guidelines.
But now, that I add xgl to [community], the things are changed.

I've called xgl-0.0.1 because in AUR there is another version of this
package, that get source directly from git repository, called xgl-git (
it isn't working now, because source in repo are broken ). So, I've
created xgl-0.0.1, and made version as version of the lastest snapshot
that works well ( in this case, 20070105).

What do you think about this? Do I need to rename? What name I should
use, to indicate that it is xgl 0.0.1, and it is the snapshot of 20070105?

In case of rename, I pray you of delete wrong xgl-0.0.1 on community/x11
( I know that delete is a dangerous thing on cvs.. and I hope that  you
have more experience with this operation - I don't want to broke
community - )

Excuse me for this supplementary work, and thank you for your help; I
hope that this thing will be useful in future.
