Here are the constraints on the package version:
- must increase over time, even if you have to do another snapshot
before the next official release
- should be greater than the previous official release number
- should be less than the next official release number
- it's helpful for it to include an abbreviated git sha1
If there's a git tag at the last upstream release, you can use `git
describe` to describe a commit like this (using d0_blind_id as my
example upstream project):
% git describe
v0.5-6-g86ae1d4
That means "6 commits later than the tag v0.5, and it's git commit
86ae1d4". If I packaged that version of d0_blind_id, I'd probably
claim it was upstream version 0.5+6+g86ae1d4.
Using the date instead of the number of commits also works, although
you can end up with pretty long version numbers (e.g. see ioquake3).
