Overview
Where is '0.5' in the version coming from? Upsreams git has no a single tag that could help to identify this version. Seems a version like 0~%cd.%h would be more appropriate here
Indeed 0.5 seems a bit strange - date should be specific enough to identify version, using tilde would be a bit unfortunate as zypper would interpret this as lower then 0
That's why we chose a tilde.
I am not sure that I understand what you are trying to say here.
0~ would be exactly the point - we don't know if upstream 'ever' would come to the idea to tag a 0.1 release; or a 1.0; or a 2;... 0~ in any case could 'update' to what upstream might ever come up with (low chance they do - this seems just to work and not get any attention anyway)
0+git123 would achieve same result in this case 0~ is strange in this case (like <0)
It comes from how Fedora packages git-bz, I have been suggested to add a verson number and I though aligning it to the choices of another distro was the best way to go.
