Good! > However, the revision isn't working any more so we'll have to fix > do-autobuild. For git-based projects, a good way to get the revision is via e.g., git describe --abbrev=4 HEAD coreutils' configure.ac now uses build-aux/git-version-gen to set the package version number. E.g., --version prints this version string on one of my branches: 6.9-279-4f097 FYI, that depends on there being a signed git tag named 'v6.9'.
