Comment 4 for bug 1992262

»radeontop's version in missing. This is a packaging problem as the version is there when I build from my own Git branch.«

It's not a packaging problem, it's an upstream bug:

The version number is set through the script "getver.sh" which is part of the upstream source tree [1]. Since this script exclusively relies on git to determine the version number and the Debian package is built from the distributed tarball which does not contain any git repository information, there is no way for "getver.sh" to determine the version information from the distributed tarball source.

In order to fix this problem, the upstream developers need to modify the Makefile to generate the version information and write it into "getver.sh" anytime "make dist" is called.

Please report this bug upstream, it's not a packaging bug. Also, the original package is maintained in Debian, not Ubuntu which is why it took a bit longer until me (the package maintainer) saw this bug report.
