Using my psychology hat, I would say that you intended to imply a
semantic meaning for that dash (a really tiny change).

Well we do not follow any known semantic scheme so that is doubly
entertaining. :-D


For what is worth in the RPM world we use that dash to separate the
version from the release.

The version that I have installed is 2.4.2-0.
As a packager I am using one copr (similar to a ppa in ubuntu parlance)
to test new versions before adding them to updates-testing.

I use the 0 as the release because when I build for Fedora proper I
always start with 1. This ensures a clean upgrade path for the updates.

So now for 2.4.2.1 I am building:

* 2.4.2.1-0 (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jamatos/lyx-next/)
* 2.4.2.1-1 (when building the package for Fedora updates)

By the way, as a general procedure I, usually, only build Fedora
packages after you do the announcement. :-)

This is very institutional from me. :-D
