Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been
told to cancel this test and seek professional assistance!

I think this is what you want:
$ sed 's/\([0-9]\.[0-9]\(\.[0-9]\)*\).*/\1/' <<.EOF
> 5.1
> 5.1.1
> 5.1.1-LINUX
> 5.1.1-FC3
> 5.1.1-RH73
> 5.1.1_debug
> 5.1.1_debug_O1G
> 5.1.2
> 5.1.2-LINUX
> 5.1.2-FC3
> 5.1.2-RH73
> 5.1.2_debug
> 5.1.2_debug_O1G
> .EOF
5.1
5.1.1
5.1.1
5.1.1
5.1.1
5.1.1
5.1.1
5.1.2
5.1.2
5.1.2
5.1.2
5.1.2
5.1.2
So in your script:
release=$( echo $directory | sed 's/\([0-9]\.[0-9]\(\.[0-9]\)*\).*/\1/'
)
