I was thinking about stack but i wrote package.
I never looked into CMakeList.txt in stacks, so i missed version number there.
If there is tool which can parse CMakeList.txt and get version number, I don't see a point in including version elsewhere.

It would be great if version can be included in stack header on wiki.

Hi Konrad,

As Tully notes, we don't version individual packages, only stacks. We
used to include versions numbers in stack.xml files, but came to the
opinion that it was a mistake as you would get version disagreements
between the stack.xml, which is not authoritative, and the
CMakeLists.txt file, which is. We decided to just maintain one version
number in the CMakeLists.txt for now, though this will change once our
install target develops more.

The "rosversion" command for ROS 1.3 has been updated to output the
version number of any installed stack.
