No, it gets it from the '$XFree86' line at the end. For the current CVS trunk, CLOG_DATE gets defined to 20030808, and the following is printed when you run 'XFree86 -version': XFree86 Version 4.3.99.9 Release Date: 8 August 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE-p1 i386 [ELF] Build Date: 09 August 2003 Changelog Date: 08 August 2003 David -- David Dawes Founder/committer/developer The XFree86 Project www.XFree86.org/~dawes _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
