Packaging BOINC (for Fedora)

Apologies for the cross-post, but I think it is relevant for both the
Debian packagers and the upstream developers. Your help would be much
appreciated.

I am trying to package BOINC for Fedora, and while looking around I
encountered some confusion regarding the version numbers.

According to http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php the latest
upstream version seems to be 5.10.28. However according to Debian
(http://packages.debian.org/lenny/boinc-client
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/boinc-manager) it seems to be
5.10.30. In fact, the Debian package's changelog claims a new upstream
release versioned 5.10.30:

boinc (5.10.30-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frank S. Thomas ]
  * New upstream release.

Since http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php only mentions 5.10.28,
what happened to 5.10.30? Has it been withdrawn?

Moreover if I checked out using:
svn co http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/branches/boinc_core_release_5_10
which 5.10.x point release do I get? 5.10.28 or 5.10.30 or something else?

Thanks a lot and a happy new year,
Debarshi
