Indeed, it should be 6~20230627git5328c27e3 or 6.0.0~20230627git5328c27e3.

I guess you mean 23.12 and 24.04. Time flies.

Then for gear it makes sense to use $current^20230627git5328c27e3 e.g. 
23.04^20230627git5328c27e3.

What is the best way to override the version numbers of KF6?
   cmake -DPROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 ?
Since there is no suffix support this would falsely indicate that it's 
already version 6 instead of a snapshot working towards it.

Best regards,
Jos
