When I originally packaged uap-core upstream was not producing any releases. I was using the most recent commit to master on github with the date for the version number. The initial version was 20180219-1
Upstream is now doing releases, the most recent upstream version is 0.8.0 I'd like to add an epoch so the version number matches upstream. I realise that if I'd used a version number like 0~git20180219-1, I wouldn't need an epoch now. But I didn't figure that out when I made the package. The package has a security bug (#952649 CVE-2020-5243) which is fixed upstream. -- Edward.
