+No problem at all, this is how anyone learns.

+I was hoping you wanted to become the vino or vinagre maintainer though :P
+
+FYI, almost all software on ftp.gnome.org follows
+a.b.c and optionally .d
+
+where
+a = major
+b = minor (even=stable, uneven=unstable)
+c = micro (generally ok to update)
+d = pico  (only used in case previous version did not build, highly
+           recommended to update if a.b.c is still the same)
+
+so
+3.6.0 => 3.6.1 is just a stable update
+3.6.0 => 3.6.0.2 likely fixed some build issues which you might or not
+not have experienced on Mageia
+3.6.2 => 3.7.2 means the it goes from stable to unstable
+3.7.91 => 3.8.0 means a new stable release
+
+Note that on GNOME, the software is QA tested from git. However, the
+tarballs are released individually by maintainers. Then after tarball
+releases it is checked by the release team. Could happen that you first
+have 3.6.x, quickly followed by 3.6.x.1 or even a 3.6.x.2. Generally
+this only happens for the first few micro releases in a new development
+cycle (e.g. 3.7.0 to 3.7.4).
