The standard GNU version numbering scheme is major.minor.revision

There are utilities available for this, including some from GNU:
Code:
Modify, maintain version strings, version,revision,level

	1) rvs (local), Revise version string, version.revision.level.

	2) shtool-version, maintain version information file
	   See man shtool, man shtool-version:
	   ... compilation of small but very stable and portable shell scripts

The shtool installation includes man pages, such as:
Code:
