Why is the ~ necessary? Just do
+ 3.X.YalphaZ - for alpha releases
+ 3.X.YbetaZ - for beta releases
+ 3.X.Y.Z - for release candidates
And to answer your question for pkgsrc: it knows about "alpha", "beta"
and "rc" and sorts them correctly. If there's a tilde in there we'd
have the change the pkgsrc name of the package to one without a tilde.
