Hi Alex, As mentioned earlier this is not possible in a clean way. Version information is contained within the source package and it is required by specification to be. Installation happens from this source package. There are no “binaries”. We understand the need to vote on the artefacts, however the way it is required to work put us between a rock and a hard place: either our users can end up with an outdated pre-release while reporting they have the release installed or we need to vote 2+2 times (PMC+IPMC). We are looking to optimize this process either technically or procedurally, but until so far haven’t been able to distill anything that really helps.
