That is also not compliant with the current Fedora packaging
guidelines.

Sorry, that is not how Fedora packaging works, in the case of
snapshot
packages.
Yes , like I already wrote in fedoras list, versioning on packages
which doesn't have version should have 2 counters, but you win, by I'm
not following the guideline, IMHO I'm improving it, but I'm not going
discus this, because I can't win.
I'd like point out 2 things, 1 - IMHO Package guidelines, is what it
says, one guide and is *not* the supreme truth, that I have to follow
strictly, 2 - I'm one of the official package maintainer of x264 [1] so
I felt that I have more property / authorization .
So no problem nor a big deal, we already rollback the versioning, sorry
if I brought you trouble or bother anyone, it wasn't my intention and
it was just a small detail, I think.

Please follow:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Versioning
exactly as written, and do not try to discuss that with us, we did
not make
these guidelines, we just have to enforce them to ensure consistency
across
the distribution.
There is a proposal that would change this:
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/398
(by introducing Debian-style + and ~ suffixes in Version), but it has
not
been approved yet. So you cannot use it at this time.
Let me see, I can fit in what I want, in resume, my case, is about
packages without version or is a version that stalled and the package
is just maintained over the time ...
Thanks,
