That rather depends on your goal. If the version number is before the current snapshot, then + is appropriate. I like to use the output of git-describe, along with sed, something like the following: ,---- | SOURCEPKG=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Source: \(.*\)/\1/p') | UPSTREAM=$(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Version: \(.*\)-[^-]*/\1/p') | SHA1=$(lastword $(subst ~g, ,$(UPSTREAM))) | ORIG=${SOURCEPKG}_${UPSTREAM}.orig.tar.gz | | describe-current-version: | git describe --tags upstream | sed 's,^release-,,;s,-,+,;s,-,~,;' | | get-orig-source: | git archive --format=tar $(SHA1) | gzip -9 > ../$(ORIG) `---- The output from ./debian/rules describe-current-version is pasted into debian/changelog, and it makes things like 0.7.1+706~g1157b91-1 So here + really makes sense because it is 706 commits after tag release-0.7.1 The second ~ could be a + as well, doesn't matter.
