That I don't know yet for sure. I just want an integer, always increasing, even though not by one, from a specific branch, from a specific repository (the branch/repository from which I compile released code). And that value seems to fit that need perfectly. It does not need to allow me backward lookups (finding a check-in from that number). That sequential number could even be managed outside by my build system. But it is interesting that it be linked with the count of check-ins, because somehow it gives an empiric sense "of the distance" of code between to release builds. Which we had before through the subversion revision ID. Upon build I will derive the trailing version number of my executables from that integer. And my build system will auto add a tag with the full constructed version number to the top check-in of that same branch. I can also store that top check-in ID (hash) somewhere else (than in the version number) so it could be displayed on request. And there, thanks to the auto-added full version number tag upon successful release build, I get an easy way to locate the exact source code that was part of that build. It's easier for users to tell support people their version number than a hash code, even shortened. And setup/distribution is easier thanks to an ever increasing full version number, even between patch builds of a same release. -- Best Regards, Meilleures salutations, Met vriendelijke groeten, Olivier Mascia _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
