Previous maintainer added some artificial single digit release

release date directly as used in the package.
That is the upstream versioning scheme for patch releases or beta
versions, which can't be used directly on Cygwin without losing the
release part of the package version.
You might want to go for something like 6.4+20240120-1 instead.
Good point, but I figured we could add the suffix .1 or something if we could
not get a change merged upstream: the snapshots are weekly or better in ncurses,
although others not so often, and I have no idea how they decide when to release
a new GNU version 6.5?
What happens if we change versioning from 6.4-yyyymmdd to 6.4+yyyymmdd-1?
My rpm-ver.bash shell script says okay, but rpmdev-vercmp (from rpmdevtools 9.6)
now complains, rpm{,-build,-devel}, python3{,9}-rpm are installed and OK, any idea?
