[SOLVED] What does the colon symbol in package versions mean?
For example:
extra/gnome-desktop 1:3.10.1-1What is 1:? I've only seen this on pacman, is this an Arch thing?
Also, just kind of hijacking my own thread, is the -1 an Arch thing too? What does it mean? Minor revision, something like that?

The '1:' is the epoch, '-1' is the release. Yes, it's an Arch thing.

<epoch>:<version>-<release>
EDIT: I'm too slow on everything thread today.
