See, that's a problem. The user of BE is going to be thinking in terms of the commits *they* are making. So I don't think “commit date” is too helpful. Better would be a “release date”, if there were such a thing. My ideal resolution to this would be for ‘be --version’ to actually show the version string; but that would require that BE actually gets released with a version string. -- \ “It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children | `\ are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, | _o__) they would remain so.” —Ernestine Rose | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Be-devel mailing list [email protected] http://void.printf.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/be-devel
