Version numbers for Sympl have the format {OS version}.%y%m%d.%H%M, where the OS version is the major OS revision (eg: Debian Stretch is 9) and the time/date is UTC of the change made. You can get these values easily with GNU date via date -u +%y%m%d.%H%M.

For example, 9:190601.0123 would be the Sympl for Debian Stretch, updated June 1st, 2019 at 01:23 (AM) UTC.

The sympl-update package will cause these to be updated on a daily basis from the original repository as part of the unattended-upgrades package.
