the version number is purely decided by the developer that uploads. The system as such doesnt increment the version.

consider an example timeline like this
  • 1.0 version of the s/w uploaded to extras-devel.
  • 1.0 is promoted to extras-testing
  • 2.0 is uploaded to extras-devel
  • 1.0 is promoted to extras
  • 2.0 is promoted to extras-testing
  • 3.0 is uploaded to extras-devel
so now you will have
extras-devel with 1.0 ,2.0 and 3.0 versions
extras-testing with 1.0 and 2.0
extras with 1.0

I think the older version of the s/w get automatically removed from the testing/devel repo, not sure of the devel.
Or if the developer wants he can request to remove the older versions.

Extras , AFAIK , has only 1 version always, but Im not a 100% sure.

does it help ?
