If wanted, I can do the same for a Slackware Linux package.  I am 
currently running Slackware 14.1 (k3.10.103), but I have a copy of the 
latest 14.2 and plan to install it early next year.  The only change I 
can see is that the package architecture went from i486 in 14.1 to i586 
in 14.2, but that is trivial.  Of course, the dependencies have changed.

Another option would be to contact the SlackBuilds.org pcb package 
maintainer, Felix Pfeifer:  pfeifer [dot] felix [at] googlemail [dot] com
He might be willing to do this task and put the resulting packages on 
SlackBuilds.

geda-gaf on SlackBuilds.org seems to be maintained by a different 
maintainer, Stephen Van Berg:  stephen_van_berg at earlicker dot com

Consistency, yes.  But the form doesn't matter for Slackware packaging.  
x.y.z is just as fine as yyyymmdd.  The only caveat is that dashes may 
not be used in the version string.  I usually change them to underscores 
or remove them entirely if in yyyy-mm-dd.
