Yes, 2023???? (where ? stands for some digit) is bigger than any of the numbers in the range 4...13. Epochs are supported (theoretically), but I don't think you need to use them here. > ...and hopefully they ignore the sequential number. Again, the question isn't about the meaning that a person ascribes to the version number (because you can't reasonably expect people to examine every package in detail), it's about the actions that setup will automatically take. > Just to be clear about the process details and best practice: > > I should create a dummy local dist tree for superseded versions, > with the tar file names prefixed with "-" and zero length, You don't need to do this.

Yes. But if you are really going to upload a 6.4-2023MMDD sometime soon (or anything greater than 6.4-13, in fact), you don't need to bother, because that does supersede the removed test versions (and so any installation of them will get upgraded).
