As still some discussion exists about how to use PKG_VERSION and PKG_RELEASE, currently around local projects, a thought of some time ago might be worth consideration. The wiki states that PKG_RELEASE must be reset to 1 whenever PKG_VERSION is updated [1], which makes it subordinate to the upstream version of the package. Would just keep incrementing PKG_RELEASE not be less entangled (of orthogonal purposes) ? Also, might it be an idea to rename PKG_VERSION to PKG_UPSTREAM_VERSION ? (or something alike but more concise) That would make its meaning much more obvious.
