Bug Description

stx/docs/doc/source/developer_resources/packaging_ref.rst

Section "Details for build-srpm.data"

How to properly use the SRCREV variables is unclear. An example of how to set them for a new external kernel module being added to the system, and how to modify them for a change to an existing external module would be greatly appreciated. In a recent code review for an external kernel module change, none of the reviewers could comment with confidence on whether or not they were correctly set.

Also address the issue of merge commits, can they bump up the version count by more than one, and is it anything to really be concerned about? Is an initial version count of greater than 1 anything to worry about? These are questions that newbies may have.
