If you make it as a post release from the latest regular release, you
can easily adjust if they go back to normal releases without requiring
an epoch.
I agree that would work, but staying canonical with upstream, if they ask,
"What version are you using?", 0.4.1 is not the correct answer. I think it
would be different if I was doing actual checkouts but they provide archives
which include the date.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
they now use 'daily-YYYYMMDD' as the version, it is even shown in the about
dialog. They provide daily builds. It doesn't seem they are going
to change this release model in the near future (but I will recheck with them).
Personally I would go with YYYYMMDD as the version. Anytime later, if the release
model change, we will be able to add epoch and use different numbering.
Just my two cents
thanks & regards
