So, instead of dealing with a pair of `(pgkver, pkgrel)` we now have a triple of `(pkgver,xrev,pkgrel)`. The issue then becomes how to convert this triple into a pair. In particular, how to do it so the version ordering rules that `pacman` uses results in the wanted behaviour.
The `pkgrel' must be an integer incremented by 1, but there are no defined format for `pkgver'. So why not using `pkgver_xrev-pkgrel' in which `pkgver_xrev' is the `pkgver' defined in the PKGBUILD? It is allowed to do so, will be strictly incrementing and respecting PKGBUILD rules. PS: underscores are allowed (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#pkgver) ++ Fabien
