Comment (by pbennett):

 Replying to [ticket:13246 gigem]:
 > Suggestions on what to use for the versionCode are welcome.  Some texts
 suggest <major> * 10000 + <minor> * 100 + <patch>.  Currently, MythTV only
 uses <major> and <minor>.

 I think we have to create multiple application names - MythTV29, MythTV30,
 MythTV31 etc., because we cannot expect everybody to be on the latest
 version.

 That said, the version only has to be unique within MythTV30, MythTV31,
 etc.

 Possibilities
 * date and time built - yyyymmddhhmmss
 * minor version code number * 1000 plus additional commit number from git
 describe. Minor version code number will have to be something like this
  * "-pre" = 00
  * "-rc1" = 01
  * "-rc2" = 02
  * ".0" = 10
  * ".1" = 11
  * ".2" = 12

 Examples of second method
 * v30-Pre-543-g697bf77 = MythTV30 version code 00543
 * v29.1-9-g67e8d62 = MythTV29 version code 11009
