Package: clang-11
Version: 1:11~++20200701093119+ffee8040534-1~exp1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
as reported in LLVM bug #38998 "llvm-toolchain: Include Debian version string
like for gcc"
the version handling (naming) for packages build-from-upstream-git looks
uncommon to me.
In comment #24 I have listed all packages having a "git" on my Debian/testing
(sid) AMD64 system:
root# dpkg -l | grep '\~git' | awk '/^ii/ {print $1 " " $2 " " $3}' | column -t
[ EMPTY ]
root# dpkg -l | grep '\+git' | awk '/^ii/ {print $1 " " $2 " " $3}' | column -t

I remember when I build myself from git I used to:
'upstream-version' plus '+git' (prefered by Debian see above) or `~git` plus
'posix-date' plus '.commit-hashid' (12 digits) plus 'debian-revision'
Transform for version-string "1:11~++20200701093119+ffee8040534-1~exp1" (latest
in Debian/experimental):
11.0.0+git20200701.ffee8040534-1
To be read:
upstream-version: 11.0.0
"git" version-info: "git" + "posix-date" (here: "20200701" means 01-Jul-2020) +
"commit-hashid" (here: "ffee8040534")
debian-revision: 1
We do not need any informations concerning the hh:mm:ss of the commit.
Havin the (POSIX) date and the commit-hashid is clear and obvious enough.
I prefer a "." (dot) between POSIX-date and commit-hashid.
The suffix '~exp1' - if this common or a rule for packages in
Debian/experimental - can be kept otherwise you can drop it, too.
Thanks.
Regards,
