The case I envision is if a package is accidentally built using the wrong flags and needs to be re-built using the same software source. > KiCad uses until > now the semantic versioning [1].

The KICAD_VERSION_EXTRA=1 define will make it 'major.minor.patch-1' but I'm happy with packagers using either.

I thought to give an example that would accomplish this but I'm very happy with a different approach that achieves the same unequivocal version number that includes build revision. I do not intend for this to be complicating and I'm very happy with any solution that gets to the same result. What I really hope to avoid is the version 5.0.0 situation where our first step when debugging windows-based KiCad crashes is to ask users to re-download the same version again. Best Regards- Seth
