Alright, thanks for the information. Is there any best practice 
regarding this? I hope the package could be included with Fedora at some 
point.

Considering that the releases already have a version number, including 
the GIT qualifiers as well does not really seem necessary. The regular 
Maven build does not require this however, so it does seem like 
something Fedora-specific to me.

Thanks,
Julius
