git describe is your friend indeed! :) What I do may be a bit over-engineered: 1.2.3+2015.06.16.git26.9634b76ba5 which of course is: upstream.release+date.gitnumcommits.sha256 It'd be nice if we could all do the same thing. Not saying that my version is the best (I wouldn't mind changing for another format), but having standards is good. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
