Cliff -- When I switched to Autoconf, one of the first thing I did was to have the version number be part of configure and propagate from there down -- Autoconf can do that very easily.
One thing I put on my todo list but never felt an urgent need to implement was an automatic record of the SVN revision number in the banner as well has a nightly cron job to update the date. That is something I believe routine -- at least in GCC, that is what we have. To do that painlessly, you might want to create a simple file that contains only the branch information, the date, and the revision number. Then convince Autoconf to get revision information from there (e.g. cat). Set up a cron job on SF to daily update the date. Setup a commit script that automatically increment the revision number in the file on every commit. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
