It timestamps the *build*, but not the *original source* where the build
comes from. In my opinion, for free software, the source is more
important that the final binary.
For example, for linux, you have patches like linux-2.4.19-ac5: Linux
(linux), original version 2.4.19 of Linus Torvalds (-2.4.19), modified
by Alan Cox (-ac5). The version number (2.4.19-ac5) is set in the top
Makefile.
When several developers propose several concurrent modifications, it is
important to determine uniquely how to apply those patches.
Anyway, I can live with the current (un)numbering scheme. :)
Best regards,
d.
