The current releasing scheme is of the form 1.8.1 but new versions like 1.8.1.4 are sometimes released. When this happens, the source files of version 1.8.1 are overwritten to include the new changes. This is problematic for package manager like Homebrew which does a hash check to make sure the code downloaded by the client is still the same (for security reason) for a given version.

Would it be possible to extend the versions naming to include all revisions?

    Do not use the newest SFK version, clearly marked as

    HEAD VERSION - ALL FILES MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE!

    to create any package manager package.
    Strictly use the version before that which does not contain the above notice.

    So currently, you may create a package from 1.8.0, which is frozen,
    but not from 1.8.1, as the 1.8.1 files may change everyday due to bugfixes.
