Well, it took longer than I had hoped/expected, but I've finally got my
version automatic again. For the archives:

# cd project_dir
# svn propset svn:keywords "Revision"

...and:

%svn diff -r56 EagleUser.pm
...
-$VERSION = sprintf "%d.%03d", q$Revision: 1.9 $ =~ /: (\d+)\.(\d+)/;

+$VERSION = sprintf "%d", q$Revision$ =~ /(\d+)/;

It took me quite a while to get that change right. Many of the examples
on the 'net did not have the sprintf(), which resulted in $VERSION == 1
no matter what. Once I did the next commit, the current revision was
inserted into 'Revision'.

...now, my desired result:

%pkg_version -v | grep Eagle

bsdpan-EagleUser-73

Cheers and thanks!
