 A the moment, the GRASS release is deteminated by the SVN
 revision number; it represents binaries built upon
 different source code distributions.
 I think that I should introduce a new code number, that
 represents releases with differences in binaries,
 libraries, install script patches... that is all but not
 differences in GRASS source code: I could call it BNR
 (Binary Release Code) and start it with 0 every time the
 SVN rev number has changed in the binary release.
  
 What do you think about?

FWIW this is how debian expresses it:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

not that they should dictate what we do, but fyi. (their BNR resets to -1 
upon new code releases; -0 is sometimes used for a release candidate or 
preparatory packages)

the version before the hyphen is the source code release's domain, after is the 
packager's domain.

-2 is correct for me, since I already submitted a patch for the installer 
script and updated the 6.3.0 installer some days ago.
Now I need to figure out how to introduce some changes in the GRASS regkey 
layout to let the installer recognize if the current installed GRASS (if 
present) is the latest release or not, and thus decide if update the installed 
copy.

  Yes. The new installer is already in my GRASS folder.
  Just tell me if upload it or not (and with what name,
  6.3.0-1?)

or -2.

 I don't think you need to version your installer. GRASS
 is the same version
 that it was previously, you have just updated the GRASS
 installer. So I'd
 just put a date on it so that people know it's newer
 than the old installer.
 In fact, I would not change the version because that
 implies a different version of GRASS.

the typical (linux) convention is to label by source code version then - 
package revision. so 6.3.0-2 would seem appropriate here. For source code 
changes and extra . is used, like 6.3.0.1. I would hesitate to put the date 
in there unless it is a SVN snapshot or the line of package revisions is 
someway broken. If date is used, please use a sortable way like MMDD.

Thanks very much Marco.

Also, I don't think there is any reason that binaries (and especially needed
dependencies like coreutils) cannot be updated between GRASS version
releases.
