Hi folks, I'm doing some research on our usages of the $Header$ keyword in our main CVS repo.
The primary use-case that has been publicly stated before was for users to be able to identify to developers what version of a given ebuild they were using. Q: How much have you utilized the primary use case? Q: Are there any other use-cases you have and actively use? For evaluating existing uses of the primary case, I took a glance at Bugzilla. There are 624 bugs total that contain a $Header$ with an existing Gentoo path. At least 143 of those are for new packages or version bumps (they copied existing ebuilds). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
