There's a minor issue with eric's versioning. As you might know, RPM uses 
something along the lines of:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/eric-ide/files/%{distname}/stable/%{version}/
%{distname}-%{version}.tar.gz

to locate the source, where distname is defined as eric6 and version as 20.1.

This is tested during package submit to Factory (eg. next openSUSE release/
Tumbleweed).

Unfortunately, this fails, because the directory after stable is named 20.01 
now (vs. 20.1). I solved this by inventing distver, but it would be nice to 
avoid such confusion in future releases.

Thanks && Cheers,
Pete
