Having the idea of eventually packaging Metamath for my distribution as
well (Debian[1]), I second the proposal of having a clearer map version
-> source code. In particular, I would suggest to use git tags the
indicate versions in the metamath-exe repository. GitHub will
automatically create "releases" (together with zipballs and tarballs)
once tags are pushed to the repository.

 [1] Which indirectly means all the derivatives too, including Ubuntu.

For clarity, this is not a hard policy for packaging for Debian.
However, if there is a way to automatically list the available upstream
releases (like for example a populated "releases" page), there are
clever Debian scripts that automatically notify developers of the
availability of new releases.

Hopefully making metamath available on distributions will help people
discovering and using it.

Thanks, Giovanni.
