> Could you point me at the script you use to do the daily builds?
It's embedded in Jenkins build steps, so not easily linkable. However, the gist is:
export BUILD=daily-$(date +%Y%m%d)
sed -i 's/^CHIRP_VERSION.*$/CHIRP_VERSION=\"'${BUILD}'\"/' chirp/__init__.py
Something like that should be doable in any reasonable package system script.
