I get semver: x.y.z, but in the context of distribution packages (never upstream releases), I often see versions like 5.2.1-1, what does the extra number mean?

I guess it might depend on the distro, but on Arch it means build number. So, a program itself might not be updated, but it can be recompiled for some reason. Arch Wiki page about it
Thanks! That page was exactly what I was looking for.
