LuaJIT make recipe needs .git directory to determine the third component (usually called “patch”/“micro”) of the version [1] but we don't copy this directory [2].
Instead of manual increments for each release, the build process uses the (monotonic) POSIX time stamp of the latest commit as the release number of the semantic version. The full version number in the format $major.$minor.$timestamp can be shown with: luajit -v
The correct version should look like this:
