BTW, you could do something like this:
```diff
diff --git a/srcpkgs/singular/template b/srcpkgs/singular/template
index 441a5ba561..824345b27f 100644
--- a/srcpkgs/singular/template

 # Template file for 'singular'
 pkgname=singular
-_patchver=p2
-_majver=4.3.1
-version=${_majver}${_patchver}
+version=4.3.1p2
 revision=1
+_majver=${version%p*}
 wrksrc=singular-${_majver}
 build_style=gnu-configure
 configure_args="--with-readline=ncurses
```
to avoid the xlint complain. I believe it is mandatory to have the full expanded version string in 'version=...' so that it can be easily parsed with grep and sed from templates (just grep "^version=", etc.). The `${version%p*}` thing should work ok for versions with a patchlevel as for versions without it.
