Also, there is a question of what version number to put on snapshots so that
they will sort properly between "real" releases.
Ordinarily "git describe" would be an easy way to come up with this,
but when I was looking at this a few weeks ago I hit a roadbump. For
1_6_1 we branched 1_6_x-stable to a separate 1_6_1 branch, and then
tagged version 1_6_1 on that branch. So it's not as simple as "git
describe" on the main 1_6_x branch. Maybe there will be another git
incantation we can use that would work in a similar way.
Not to mention that 'git describe' on master has been quite silly for a
long time...
But the point I was really trying to make is that different packaging
systems have different sorting behavior around special characters [-.~_]
and the like, and some even forbid certain characters or the appearance of
multi-letter substrings. So custom work would probably be needed in some
places, if not everywhere.
