Description ephemer0l 2022-10-13 18:40:42 UTC
This is a derivative of my work[1], and there is no snapshot after Feb 11, 2019[2] making the ${PV} of 0_p20200830 wrong.

I don't know what the "derivative of your work" has to do with this. Anyway, in this case, it's pretty clear that the date is the date the snapshot was taken on, rather than the date of the last commit.

There's a mix of styles in the tree.
Comment 2 ephemer0l 2022-10-13 18:52:04 UTC
I was under the impression it's to be tracked with upstream commits for ${PV} for snapshots, but I guess I'm surly incorrect. Sorry for the noise.
Comment 3 ephemer0l 2022-10-13 18:55:46 UTC
as seen in the devmanual[1], under PV it states 'PV	Package version (excluding revision, if any), for example 6.3. It should reflect the upstream versioning scheme.'. Is this ignored for upstream where no tags are set, then?
