Hi Norbert,

how should I assign the version number of the package so it
matches to the upstream version ...  I so not see any rules
for the other packages and was thinking about

  MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

to transform by

  "%d.%2d%d", MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH

e.g. for 8.0.8 the package version 8.008, for 8.1.2 the
package version 8.012 or are there any rules or limitation
for the package numbers?

Cheers Robert
