Hi, Would it be possible to get the ubuntu builds tagged with a commit hash? Version strings like 201702251416+7735~57~ubuntu16.10.1 are not very useful if you want to know exactly which commit a build relates to.
The exact commit is very useful when looking at a bug report from a nightly. If a regression arises between one nightly and the next, the date only approximately tells you where to start bisecting. The Bzr-style rev number is almost entirely useless especially when the build is also tagged with a date, and Bzr is dead and gone. Date+git rev give you both an incrementing number for quick comparisons of age of build, and the git commit is an unambiguous pointer to the exact commit. Nearly all "nightly" and "git tracker" pacakges (PPA, AUR, etc) put the git hash in the build number, pretty much for this exact reason.
