Yes and no. It does, but that's not what we extract above. Here is an example version file:

kio v5.21.0-rc2
6b22ef006efa1f77b4af22de00166d9774548b44
583e403f6d7813be1cd03f9b14c69bd1a6d8398dfd1e9fd87aa5883d6b949923  sources/kio-5.21.0.tar.xz

This would set b to 6b22ef006efa1f77b4af22de00166d9774548b44 which is a sha1, not a tag.

That's defined in utils.sh in the same dir.

It requires having run make_rc_tag.sh first, but please don't do that, it will add tags to the repo :-)

In fact, I think you can ignore pack.sh, that's a further step than the one you're interested in.
See PACKAGING_FRAMEWORKS for the procedure.

Not really :-)
