Hi, Malte!

Maybe X as 5 for the last tagged release and then followed by ".N"
where N is the date in the form YYYYMMDD would be better?  When I see
1710087801, I have no idea what version that corresponds to.  But when I
see 20240403, I immediately know approximately what version it is.

Another approach that is more exact is 2.0.5.N where N is the number of
commits to the VCS since the 2.0.5 tag.  This is described in

  https://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/fixes.html#build.fetch.github

which was proposed by Jason Bacon in
