Version numbers for Sympl have the format {OS version}.{Sympl revision}.%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.

Sympl revision is for future use and updates within the existing Distro version.

For example, 9.0.190601.0123 would be the Sympl for Debian Stretch, revision 0, 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.
