Public bug reported:

We should tag our releases with one of the following so it is obvious
what type of release it is:

 - stable
 - rc
 - beta
 - alpha
 - milestone
 - snapshot

Of the above, "snapshot" should be default and has the meaning of not
being a release. In the current build system this would be everything
that has a 4 digit version number. Example: 2012.01.07.2489 would become
2012.01.07.2489-snapshot.

The other tags would be used with their common meanings together with a
proper release (ie you did a bzr tag, make dist and uploaded a release
somewhere). Meaning of "milestone" is "none of the above" ie less than
alpha quality.

Currently the version is deduced from bzr tags and bzr revno information
automagically in m4/pandora_vc_build.m4. Note that just starting to use
tags like 2012.01.07-beta will not work, because then anyone building a
snapshot later would end up with something like
2012.01.07-beta.2499-snapshot. But with luck only minor changes are
needed to current pandora magic.
