I am not sure what the version is for. I remember that we updated some
version in this file and it broke some import/export hacks for backward
compatibility.

For example, see the check for nUPD == 350 in the recent commit
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-5&id=befb1c7e26b79ae97d802659f3386882d4044251

I am not sure what exact version string affects getBuildIds() function.
I just know that we need to be careful with modifying versions in that
minor.mk :-)

Ugh, the versioning is a real mess. The versions are defined on many
locations and used different ways. It is a good candidate for general
cleanup. Whoever would like to dig into it, please step up.


Best Regards,
Petr
