Description:

uname -a

shows 5.16.0-arch1-1

But pkgver in PKGBUILD ommits the 0 in the version number:

pkgver=5.16.arch1

This troubles some of my monitoring scripts. :-)

Is this change intentional?

Additional info:
* package version(s): 5.16.arch-1
This task depends upon

This is not intentional change, this happens each time the second version number is updated, archlinux here follows mainstream version.

This difference between the kernel's internal version and the versioning used in the git tags (and the resulting tarballs) is unfortunate but inherited from upstream.
