In MacPorts the version check is usually done by downloading the web-page where 
the corresponding source
code archives can be grabbed from. This is usually a simple web-page created by 
source-forge, github,
bitbucket or the like…

Such a HTML page would contain all valid version numbers (together with other 
infos) of a given code-archive.
The regexp to be defined now grabs the version numbers in the desired format, 
i.e. x.y.z and thus allows
to cross-check all numbers found against the one currently in use be the 
installed version of the corresponding
software.

Yet, KF5’s approach means that you have at first a page where you get a choice 
between x.y’s and then at the
following page - a lever lower - you only start to see x.y.z refinements...

Does KDE perhaps have another overview web-page where for every code-archive 
distributed all currently available
versions are listed?! That would come very handy for me now!
