Hello,

I'm packaging 3.1-alpha1 for Gentoo. The arts tarball is named 
arts-3.0.6.tar.bz2, but contains arts-1.0.0. I need to choose one of these 2 
versions for my ebuild's version (ebuild == Gentoo port-like package 
definition). I'd choose the real version number (1.1.0) because that's how 
kde 3.0.x arts ebuild were numbered, but I want to make sure this number will 
change for every 3.1 prerelease (and not just the number in the tarball's 
name).

What will the future versions of arts (the package and the tarball) be? I.e. 
for alpha2, beta*, ..., kde 3.1-final. Also, why are there two version 
numbers in the first place?

Thanks,
