I noticed difference in server version parameter value when installing via Source vs Binary/RPM. To me Binary/RPM looks more correct. I found this behavior during my test on CentOS 6.

Installing Percona-Server-5.6.13-rel61.0.tar.gz via source.

mysql> show global variables like '%version%';

While installing Percona-Server-5.6.13-rel61 from Binary/RPM.

You can see there is different value against "version_comment, innodb_version" parameter.
