I agree that this should be put into the recipes. Besides this allows
for checking if it was updated when the version has been updated.

If done right, when updating the version this data will be updated
together. I see no change in the amount of changes.

A plus of this choice is it will be more difficult to forget to update
that info. This happened in last qt update for an example.
