Hrm.  As in the "0.19" and "4plf2007.0" in the package
mythtv-0.19-4plf2007.0?

~sigh~  If you are referring to the "4plf2007.0" in the above, then this
is a hack.  That portion of a package's version is reserved for
"packaging" updates, not software version updates.  One is supposed to
know exactly which software ("release") one has by looking at the number
before the "package version".

So, how does an ATrpms user match what is installed on his system with a
point in a  Changelog on the myth site, or how does he get a cvs
(whoops, I mean svn for myth) checkout of exactly what's in his
packages?  That is difficult because his package is not based on a
release tag.
