That's what I said to when the base1 was released. But I received no answer yet.

That's what I would like to have, too. Just do it like udev, use 001 for the first version, 002 for the next, etc. Or simply use 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc. These are all good version numbers (the 2nd type is actually better because you can have a version 1.0 later [which in the first case won't work because eg. 002 > 1.0]). We just want a normal tarball, with the code. We want to build it externally.
