In trying to determine the availability of features in the Debian
version of marble, i have had some difficulty of mapping between the
version number of this package (e.g. 4.8.4 in wheezy) with the version
numbers documented upstream (e.g. http://marble.kde.org/history.php).

It would be nice to follow the upstream version numbers. I understand
that this package may be following the KDE version numbers, but i don't
use KDE yet marble is still an interesting product for me...

thanks

Hello:



There's a "Version History" session here:

http://marble.kde.org/changelog.php



And also you could just install it and open its "About" window if you are

using sid.

The version number on my machine:

版本 1.8.20 (1.9 Alpha)

使用 KDE 开发平台 4.14.0

the versions i am refering to are the debian package versions:

anarcat@angela:~$ rmadison marble
 marble | 4:4.4.5-2     | squeeze      | amd64, armel, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
 marble | 4:4.8.4-3     | wheezy       | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc
 marble | 4:4.13.3-2    | jessie       | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x
 marble | 4:4.13.3-2    | sid          | source
 marble | 4:4.13.3-2+b1 | sid          | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc
 marble | 4:4.14.0-1    | experimental | source, amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, powerpc, s390x, sparc

We are following the version numbers that matches the tarballs we receive.
There is no plans to change that.

So, I think 'wontfix' is the best solution for this.
