Translations:VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines/16/en

It is recommended to have following version format: RELEASE.rREVISION where REVISION is a monotonically increasing number that uniquely identifies the source tree (VCS revisions do this). The last VCS tag can be used for RELEASE. If there are no public releases and no repository tags then zero could be used as a release number or you can drop RELEASE completely and use version number that looks like rREVISION. If there are public releases but repo has no tags then developer should get the release version somehow e.g. by parsing the project files.
