I've downloaded the 0.8.9 tarball to try at figuring where to set a git tag and found revno.h advertising commit id "257aa1e":
gnash-0.8.9$ cat revno.h static const char* BRANCH_REVNO = "20088"; static const char* BRANCH_NICK = "release_0_8_9"; static const char* COMMIT_ID = "257aa1e"; But reading the logs in the release_0_8_9 branch I see a subsequent commit "49fb49a" which fixed the version number: -AC_INIT(gnash, 0.8.9~rc4) +AC_INIT(gnash, 0.8.9) Now, the configure.ac in the tarball is the correct one (0.8.9) so the question is: why is revno.h pointing to the previous commit ? I was thinking about starting to maintain a stable branch, which is the reason why I'm looking at it. Branch release_0_8_9 contains two more commits, one fixing rmp packaging and another setting release date in NEWS file. May be worth backporting also a fix for a 0.8.9 blocker that resurrected [1] [1] https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?32579 --strk; () Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer /\ http://strk.keybit.net/services.html _______________________________________________ Gnash-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnash-dev
