Description

Require users of CBUILD lifecycles to select RPM compatible versions. Standard maven versions like.

1.0-alpha-1
1.0-beta-2
1.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT

do not behave the same with RPMs. Also, RPMs require a build number, which is currently coded as "release". Devise a versioning scheme and error out if the version is not compatible. Allow overloads so that users who understand the problems can overcome the error.

For instance, in maven, 1.0-alpha-1 is before 1.0. In RPM it is after. With this change, the default behavior will be to fail if "alpha" is encountered in the version. Also, this change will require the version to end in a dash character followed by a number which will represent the RPM build (aka release) number. If it is not present, this will fail with no overload.

Thinking about this for versioning of RPM projects. Left side would be the Maven project version, right side would be the RPM version and release number. Will not use PRM epoch feature.

1.0-SNAPSHOT -> 1.0-0.0.SNAPSHOT.200904140812 - note release number prefixed with 0.0
1.0-alpha-1 -> ERROR, default will require no maven reserved words to avoid version order discrepancies
1.0 -> ERROR, always require release number if not a snapshot
1.0-0 -> ERROR, release number zero reserved for SNAPSHOTS
1.0-1 -> 1.0-1
0.9.8h-2 -> 0.9.8h-2 - note alpha numeric character 'h' not a reserved word so it passes

0.1 release number can support "alpha", "beta", "rc", etc at some point. Simple matter of programming. Considering versioning in maven is still being worked out, best to wait until Maven 3.0 to support pre-release nomenclature.

Like CBUILDS-44, this should be implemented in the validate phase of rpm-maven-plugin and like archProperty and osProperty, set a dynamic maven property. Suggest rpmVersionProperty and rpmReleaseProperty. Note that rpm-cbuilds-maven-plugin concatinates rpm release number and the OS name into a rpm release.
