---++ How to name a tag

Tag is like a marker allowing to identify in a unique way a set of elements (files, modules) and used to retrieve this set of coherent elements, named *package*.

Tag will be named differently depending on the package

|*Package*|*Tag format*|*Example*|
|MCS|MMMYYYY|APR2006 for april 2006|
|Application (SCALIB, MFIT ...)|Vx-y ou Vx-y-z *| V3-4-5|

Note:
*: Vx-y-z where %BR%
x is the major version identifier: updated for major changes such as architecture modifications %BR%
y is the minor version identifier: updated for minor changes such as change request %BR%
z is the minor-minor version identifier: updated minor changes with no so much software comportment changes such as bug correction %BR% 


---++ How to handle tags

When the major version identifier x is incremented the minor version identifier y is set to 0 %BR%
When the minor version identifier y is incremented the minor-minor version identifier z disapears %BR%
