Yes, I understand now. >And that string may not only be "BRLTTY version 3.8" but it >should also include the svn revision number as reported by svn during >the build process, like $(svn info | sed -ne 's/^Revision: //p') as well >to be safe.

This is something I haven't figured out how to do yet. Does anyone know how to get svn export to produce a reliable revision number? For checked out source I'd use the svnversion command, but, of course, that doesn't work for exported source. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
